QUESTION: I’m a 28-year-old practicing Muslim woman who prioritizes Allah’s commands. A proposal has come from a man who is financially stable, calm, responsible, respectful, and prays five times daily. However, he is less religiously practicing than I had hoped. His family practices customs I believe are bid‘ah. How should I evaluate this Islamically?

ANSWER:
You must not settle for a suitor who is less practicing than you or who would make your life miserable, for example if he watches movies and listens to music when you don’t!
