Day Questions
I have just reached age of 30 years, and I still have not found a wife, and I feel that marriage is obligatory on me because of the fear of sinning. I know a girl who is suitable, who prays and is modest in her actions in general, but she does not wear a hijab. Should I ask her to marry me, or should I prioritize waiting for a hijabi wife?
It is permissible to marry a non-hijabi girl if she a Muslim. It is better to choose a believer that fulfils all her religious obligations as she will be the mother of your children in the future and children will be affect by the behavior of their mother.
