Advice for women who refuse to marry a married man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding women who refuse to marry a married man?

Answer:
It is a mistake for a woman to refuse to marry a married man and remain single. She may end up being denied marriage, with men losing interest in her, and she remains single. As long as the man is righteous and a suitable match for her, she should marry him, even if she dislikes it, even if she dislikes the neighbors or the other wives. Perhaps
perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا
[An-Nisa 4:19]
. And it is better for her to marry and be the fourth of four wives than to remain single, with time passing from her life and youth, or perhaps marriage passes her by entirely. So she should marry if a suitable match comes to her, even if he has other wives. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
