The suitor who neglects the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man has proposed to my sister, but he does not maintain the congregational prayer. My brothers and my mother have accepted him, but I do not want him because of his neglect of the congregational prayer. What is your advice to us in this matter?
Answer:
If they have overruled you on this and are marrying him off, and you did not consent, then you have done what is required of you by disavowing it, praise be to Allah. You have fulfilled the duty of your conscience. But if they accept your objection, do not let them marry him to a man who abandons the congregational prayer. Yes.
