What questions can be asked of a suitor to learn his inner character and avoid being deceived by his appearance?

Determining the suitor's religious and moral eligibility is crucial for a successful marriage, and this can be achieved through:

1. Asking his close companions: By asking them specific and detailed questions about his morals and qualities, while taking the time to seek convincing answers from those with reliable knowledge. The ethics of his friends and brothers also serve as a good indicator. 2. Practically investigating his condition: By observing his commitment to acts of worship, his participation in virtuous gatherings, his benevolence towards people, and noting his patience and forbearance in practical situations. 3. The girl's guardians sitting with him: So they can understand his way of thinking, and the extent of his culture and composure.

These methods require diligence from the girl's guardian, who should not be content with external appearances, and must be deliberate in the investigation; as this is a confirmed duty to avoid choosing someone who feigns righteousness but is in reality otherwise.
