The answer

The criterion for choosing a husband is his religious commitment (deen) and character (khuluq). The work of a tourist guide is not devoid of forbidden matters. Therefore, we advise her to encourage him to seek another permissible job. Otherwise, we do not recommend marrying him. The scarcity of his gifts does not necessarily indicate stinginess. However, if he exaggerates and lies, we do not recommend marrying him. It is not permissible to be alone with the suitor, nor to speak with him without necessity. And gifting on birthdays is not permissible.
