Ruling on marrying a girl to a man older than her

A woman in her second decade of life has a man who is fifty years old proposing to her. Should she marry this man or not?
Answer: There is no harm in a woman marrying a man when she is twenty or fifteen years old and he is fifty or sixty years old. There is no harm in that; the matter is broad. A man may take an older woman, and a woman may take an older man. What some of the common people think, that the husband should be close in age to the wife, has no basis. A man may take an older woman, and a woman may take an older man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Khadijah when she was forty years old and he was twenty-five years old (peace and blessings be upon him). He also married Aishah when he was over fifty and she was nine years old (peace and blessings be upon him). She was nine and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed fifty (peace and blessings be upon him). So the matter in this is broad, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
