Marrying the younger sister before the older one

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this episode with this question from one of our dear brothers, the listeners, Muhammad 'Abd al-Hamid al-Masri, who resides in the Kingdom in the city of Riyadh. He says: My older sister is over thirty years old and no suitor has come for her, but a suitor has come for my younger sister. What is the ruling on marrying the younger one before the older one? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
If a suitor comes for her who possesses suitability and trustworthiness, then she is to be married, whether she is the older or the younger one. The younger one should not be prevented from a suitable and righteous suitor for the sake of the older one. Allah the Exalted will provide for each of them. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you and your knowledge, and I ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to benefit us with what we have heard.
