She has received a marriage proposal from someone who drinks alcohol

Question: 3938

Is it sinful to accept a proposal for marriage from a Muslim man who consumes alcohol on a social basis. I detest alcohol and think it is the root of all evil, but I have been approached with this proposal, but am hesitant because of this issue. Please advise.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qa’ood answered this question for us and said:

It is better not to marry him, but if she does marry him, that is permissible.
