It is permissible to supplicate to Allah for a husband of good character and disposition. A woman has the right to seek a husband with whom she feels comfortable and who will protect her. It is known that the primary criterion for choosing a husband is his religiosity and character. If good looks conflict with weak religiosity, the one with strong religiosity should be prioritized, for a believer is better than others, even if their appearance is appealing. There is no good in a husband from whom no moral or religious benefit is derived; rather, he may be a cause for a woman's setback and the loss of her religiosity.
