The girl is upright and her father is a follower of innovations… Is it permissible to marry her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a man wants to get married, but the girl’s father has some religious innovations (bid'ah), and the girl is upright, is it permissible to contract the marriage with this father, or is it not permissible?

Answer:
If the girl is righteous and upright, there is nothing wrong with marrying her. Even if her father has some error or some of the religious innovations (bid'ah), as long as the girl is upright and righteous, and she has good morals and a good standing, there is nothing wrong with marrying her. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Choose the religious, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك.
Sunan Ibn Majah 1858Sahih (Darussalam)
Yes.
