The first and foremost thing to check in finding a Muslim husband is his Salah. A person who does not pray is not a Muslim, hence not fitting for marriage.

As mentioned in a famous hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his giving up prayer.” (Narrated by Muslim, 82)

  • Does He Earn Halal Income?

Check on his source of income, whether it is from halal or haram sources. The concept of Halal income is very important in Islam, as a Muslim we must make sure to earn income from halal sources only.

As reported in a Hadith “Allah is pure and He accepts only what is pure” (Sahih Muslim 1015)

  • Does He Have Practicing Muslims Friends?

Check his friends, whether they are good practicing Muslims.  If he is surrounded by a bad company then it is more likely that he may probably have some of those undesired qualities.

As said by our beloved Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A man will follow the religion of his close friend, so let each of you look to who he takes a close friend.”  (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2378)

  • Do You Have all His Details?

Make sure to know some details about his family, his background, his “Aqeedah” (the most important thing to look for). Involve the family ahead of time as it can help you in knowing him in a better way.

These are some of the important points that a Muslim women should consider when looking for Muslim husband. Just an end note, sisters no one can be a perfect Muslim husband. Everyone has some good and bad qualities. Try for finding a Muslim husband, who is practicing, on correct Aqeedah and whose good qualities outweigh the bad.
