Which is better for marriage: the committed suitor who stipulates not completing studies, or the committed suitor residing abroad who allows completing studies?
It is difficult to identify a suitable spouse from a distance, but there are guidelines that can help you choose, including:
1. Religiousness and Piety: Choose someone who is best in religiousness and piety, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "So win the one who is religious, and your hands will be dirtied." This applies to men as well. 2. Muslim Community: It is preferable to marry in a Muslim country and community unless there is a pressing need. 3. Character and Dealings: Inquire about the suitor's dealings with his family and relatives and his ability to provide financially, as his treatment of them will often be his treatment of his wife. 4. Resolving Disputes Before the Contract: All contentious issues must be resolved before the marriage contract to ensure clarity and avoid future conflicts.
