I have resolved to marry a man who has memorized the Book of Allah and follows the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, but there are few like him. What is the guidance?

Question:
She says: I have resolved not to marry except a man who has memorized the Book of Allah or parts of it and follows the Sunnah of his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But all the young men in our area are more concerned with their worldly affairs than their religious affairs, and I fear that if I marry one of them, we will fall into disagreement. What is your guidance?

Answer:
You should seek out a young man who memorizes the Qur'an, or memorizes part of the Qur'an, or memorizes something of the Sunnah. This is better and more excellent. But if that is not available, marry a man who is upright in his religion, even if he does not memorize much of the Qur'an or the Sunnah. This is not a condition, and it is not obligatory, as long as he is upright in his religion and maintains the prayers, even if he does not have much memorization of the Qur'an or the Sunnah. Yes?
