The answer

A man is not obligated to marry a woman who has expressed a desire for Islam, even if he agrees to marry her. His refusal is not considered an approval of disbelief. He should encourage her towards Islam and explain its virtues. He can promise her that he will seek out a righteous husband for her if she embraces Islam and her faith becomes good. If he is able to marry her, it is good, so that he may be a support for her in her religion.
