Marrying off a daughter to one who abandons prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And there is nothing. What is your opinion of a man who proposes to marry off his daughter, knowing that he does not leave it? What is your opinion of a man who proposes to marry off his daughter, knowing that he is unable? And if he proposes, it burdens him with the hand of Allah, that he may be given to him and he weakens toward him.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for one who intentionally abandons prayer to pray, nor to marry a Muslim woman. Nor do you return to the disbelievers; they are not lawful for them, nor are they lawful for them. He must make his daughter repent and maintain the prayer. Then after that, the opinion is written for him. Yes.
