Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said that marrying a non-relative is a recommended practice (sunnah), because if divorce occurs, there will be no severing of the family tie between the husband and the wife's people?
Answer:
It is as if you are not seeking your close relatives. There is no excuse for this; there is no excuse that prevents it, ever. So the one who has a suitable close relative should marry her, but he should rely on Allah.
