Guidance for a woman to whom a smoker has proposed marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from al-Qawarah says: She is a young woman to whom many young men have proposed, but she refuses because she wants—O Shaykh—a man who is committed to all commands. Now, a young man has proposed to her, but he smokes. Should she refuse or accept? She is seeking guidance from Your Eminence.
Answer:
There is no harm in marrying him, but if someone else is available, that is better and more complete. However, if she fears that she will remain unmarried, it is better for her to marry a Muslim who smokes than to remain unmarried. But whenever a man free from smoking becomes available, that is more cautious for her; because smoking is forbidden, foul, and its harm is great. Yes.
