Question:
I want to get married, so what is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding the conditions I have set for the woman I am courting? What are they?
Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must choose a woman of faith. You must choose a righteous woman known for her good character, her prayer, her modesty, her good nature, her pleasant speech, and her good appearance as well; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 8:5.
So he advised choosing a woman of faith. We advise you with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised: a woman of faith. We advise you to choose a woman known for her uprightness, for praying at its proper time, for being chaste from what Allah has forbidden, for having a good tongue and pleasant speech, for having noble character and good nature. If, in addition to this, beauty, good lineage, and wealth are available, that is better and better. But the important thing is that her character be noble, that she be mindful of the religion, good in her prayer, good in her character, and far from the immoral deeds that Allah has forbidden. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

A woman is married for four qualities, for her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion: so get the religious one and prosper.
تنكح المرأة لأربع: لمالها ولجمالها ولحسبها ولدينها؛ فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداكSo he advised choosing a woman of faith.
