Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man who smokes has been proposed to me, but he is careful to maintain his prayers. Should I accept him as my husband?
Answer:
I advise you not to accept him as long as he smokes, no, or if he drinks alcohol, no. Allah will compensate you with someone better than him, because the smoker’s harm is great; he is a source of harm to his wife and his family, and the harm of smoking is immense and its evil is much. It is obligatory to be cautious of it. If a smoker, or a drinker of alcohol, or one known for sins proposes to you, no, Allah will bring someone better than him. Fear Allah and be glad of good,[At-Talaq 65:4],
