The answer

The guardian of a girl should fear Allah concerning her and facilitate her marriage to someone who proposes to her if he is a man of religion and good character. This is based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "If someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you [to propose], then marry [your daughter] to him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and widespread corruption." Facilitation in marriage is obligatory, based on the words of Allah the Almighty: "If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His bounty" (An-Nur: 32), and the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "The most blessed marriage is that which has the least burden," and "Marry, even if it is with an iron ring." It should also be known that the suitor is a non- to the fiancée, so he should not be alone with her, nor should she meet him or contact him by phone except according to Islamic regulations.
