Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I know that the first suitor is not a person of religion, but rather one who abandons prayer, is it permissible for me to come forward before his proposal?
Answer:
No, do not come forward before his proposal. No matter what, because he has the right before you, so do not encroach upon him.
