The Ruling on Complaining About the Delay of Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. One of the sisters says: We are a group of young women whose marriages have been delayed, and we ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to grant us righteous husbands. She says: May Allah bless you for your patience in this. Are we on a reward, or if we complain, have we sinned in doing so?

Answer:
Yes, complaining is not permissible, and it is a sin. Patience and supplication are undoubtedly the sound approach in this matter. Do not lose hope, and increase your supplication. Also, do not be too difficult in accepting husbands, and do not seek rare qualities in people. The best example of a husband is one who has religion; there is good in him, even if he is poor, or if he has some deficiency. But religion makes up for his deficiency. Every deficiency is made up for by religion, and every break is mended by religion. There is no break for which religion does not provide a mending. Yes.
