Reader on Parents Rejecting Suitors for Marriage
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with
proposes to (someone under the care) of one of you, then marry to him.
If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land
and abounding discord (Fasad).”
[Tirmidhi]
