The answer

The righteous, veiled woman who adheres to God's law is the best woman to marry, according to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Choose the religious woman, may your hands be soiled [a supplicatory phrase meaning 'may you be prosperous']," and "The world is but a provision, and the best provision of the world is a righteous woman." She is a source of happiness in this world and the Hereafter, unlike other women who cause misery.
