Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who used the code (N) for her name, from Sudan. Her question consists of several paragraphs. She reminds you, O Shaykh, that she is a committed girl, and she thanks Allah for that. She is thirty-four years old. Someone proposed to her, she says: A relative of mine, but I refused this husband for the following reasons: First: He does not perform the prayer with the Muslim congregation. He believes in sorcerers. He is two years younger than me. My mother does not know how to read or write. And he spends a lot of time sitting with women?
Answer:
You have done well in refusing him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1084Da'if (Darussalam) This is someone whose character and religion you do not approve of. So you have done well in refusing him. I ask Allah to give you a righteous husband who is better than him.
The presenter: Amen. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
