We advise you to accept the man if he is pleasing in his religion and character. Marital happiness and stability are achieved with a religious husband who fears Allah, even if he is poor. Money is fleeting, and a man's work as a taxi driver is not a flaw; rather, it indicates his sound thinking and self-reliance. Remember the words of Allah Almighty: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not," and make abundant supplications and perform the Istikhara prayer.
