What are the conditions that must be met in the woman a Muslim marries?

Question:
She says: I am committed, praise be to Allah, and if I want to get married, what are the conditions I must require in the woman? Must she be committed to all the rulings of the Islamic Shari'ah? Or is it sufficient for me that she is a child, and I teach her the rest, if Allah wills? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to this when he said, "Choose the one with religion," and he raised his hand. So the one who wants to marry should seek out the pious woman who performs what Allah has made obligatory upon her, avoids what Allah has forbidden, and adheres to modesty, decency, and covering, as well as other Islamic etiquettes. It is not sufficient that she prays; rather, she must perform the rest of the obligatory acts and avoid the forbidden and sins. Since you are in the stage of choosing, you must choose the one who is committed to her religion. It is not sufficient that she is committed to some of the religion and neglects some of it. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
