Marrying someone who watches TV

· 1 Rabiʻ II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If an Aalimah who wears full niqab and does not intermingle with men or watch tv movies etc. gets a proposal from a doctor whos a hafiz, which means he probably does khalwat with women and he watches football, would you even tell the Aalimah to consider him? He is praised for his akhlaaq. He also visits a female dentist.

Should the Aalimah even consider him. She has hope of doing amr bil maroof but fears marriage problems thereafter. Her grandfather (Allah enlighten his qabr) was a Shaikhul Hadeeth.

Answer

What type of akhlaaq is this that he visits a female dentist and watches television.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
