Question:
The second part of her question: Some parents use the excuse of not marrying off their daughters because a suitable man has not come forward.
Answer:
Allah knows best about that. It is not a matter of just what is said; the matter is about the reality. If a suitable match has not come to him, he is excused in this. But if a suitable match has come to him and he rejected it out of greed for worldly things, or out of oppression, then it is forbidden for him. If he does not do so, it will lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in the land and great corruption. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
