The question

Is marriage to a religious, well-mannered girl a religious obligation, even if there is no psychological acceptance, intellectual compatibility, or physical intimacy between the two parties? And what should I do with the money deposited in Bank Misr, which relies on usurious transactions, and the amount in Faisal Islamic Bank to ensure its permissibility? Is it permissible for me to transfer the remaining funds in Bank Misr to the bank's Islamic transactions branch, or should I close the account permanently? What is the ruling on depositing money in banks? And what is the ruling on the fatwa issued by the Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta that permits depositing money in banks under the pretext of investing it in investment projects?

The answer

The Prophet (peace be upon him) guided that religious commitment should take precedence over other considerations, saying: "A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty, and for her religious commitment. So, choose the one who is religiously committed, and you will prosper." This is for guidance, not for obligation. The goal is to choose someone with whom stability can be achieved and a happy family can be formed. There is no sin upon a suitor if he is averse to a religious woman, and he is not obligated to marry her. The Prophet was asked: Which woman is best? He said: "The one who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands, and does not contradict him concerning herself or his wealth in a way he dislikes."
