The Ruling on the Marriage of a Disobedient Person and Whom It Is Forbidden to Marry

Question:
The one in red is a letter sent by the listener: Isa Musa Jabir says: Is it permissible to marry your daughter to a man who does not fully meet the conditions from a religious standpoint?

Answer:
If he is a Muslim, and if he has some sins, it is permissible, but seeking a good, modest person is better and more excellent for everyone. However, if a person has some sins, the marriage is valid. It is only forbidden to marry a disbeliever who does not pray, or who insults the religion, or a Jew, or a Christian. A Muslim woman must not marry him; the marriage is invalid. [Al-Mumtahanah:10]. The husband of a Muslim woman must be a Muslim, and the wife of a Muslim must be a Muslim, or a woman from the People of the Book, specifically a chaste Jewish or Christian woman. A Muslim man is not permitted to marry a disbeliever unless she is a chaste woman from the People of the Book, from the Jews or the Christians. A Muslim woman is never permitted to marry a disbeliever; she is not permitted to marry anyone but a Muslim. So if the husband is a Muslim but has some sins, or if the wife is a Muslim but has some sins, the marriage is valid. But seeking a good, modest husband, and a good, religious wife; this is what should be done. Yes.
