The Foundations for Choosing a Husband and Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner for the program who sent me a question. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what are the foundations upon which a wife is chosen when proceeding to marriage, so that life proceeds in a calm and upright manner?
Answer:
Yes. The foundations upon which marriage is chosen are based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “When there comes to you a person whose religion and trustworthiness you are pleased with, marry him.” So the foundation is religion, along with good character and trustworthiness. This is the foundation upon which a successful marriage proceeds, with the permission of Allah: that the woman chooses a husband who is righteous in his religion, character, and trustworthiness, and likewise the man chooses a woman who is righteous in her religion, character, and trustworthiness. Yes. The questioner is Awid from al-Dawadimi.
