Is a girl considered sinful for rejecting suitors characterized by prayer and good morals, but for whom religious devotion is not a priority, given her desire for a husband who is deeply religious, who will strengthen her in her faith, and with whom they will be blessed with children who will serve the religion?

The answer

He who consistently performs prayers, fasts, performs Hajj if able, pays on his wealth if it reaches the threshold and a year has passed, and abstains from forbidden acts, is committed to his religion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said concerning one who adhered to these: "He has succeeded if he speaks truthfully." And he who possesses good character, fulfills his obligations, and abstains from forbidden acts, should not be rejected if he proposes marriage, unless he has an impediment to acceptance such as incapacity concerning marital affairs. As for being unyielding in demanding conditions, it may cause more harm than good, and the woman may pass the age of marriage, causing everyone to turn away from her.
