Prohibiting the marriage of the younger daughter until the older one is married

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it considered oppression of the daughters for a guardian to prevent the marriage of his younger daughter until his older daughter gets married?

Answer:
Yes, this is a grave matter. He must not prevent the younger one from marrying and harm her by doing so until the older one gets married. Rather, he should marry off the one who has been proposed to, provided the suitor is a suitable match for her and is good for her.
