The father’s refusal to marry his daughter to a suitor on the grounds of religion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, many young men have proposed to my sisters, but my father rejects them on the grounds that they are not in a state of religious commitment. Is this one of the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah)?

Answer:
You and your father should reconcile. When you enter into a dispute with your father, they will reconcile, if Allah wills. Yes.
