Is it permissible to marry a woman who possesses characteristics that I previously swore not to marry anyone who possesses them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you see good in marrying that woman, then there is no objection, and you must expiate your oath, according to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever takes an oath and then sees something better than it, let him do that which is better and expiate his oath." And remember his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty, and for her religion. So, succeed with the religious woman, may your hands be dusted."
