‎احسن الله إليكم Shaykhana, I’m in my 20s and have never married. I’m pleased with a righteous divorced sister (same age as me). I really wanted someone who's never married but Im willing to reconsider. What would you advise, given the Prophet’s ﷺ encouragement to marry a virgin? جزاكم الله خيرا

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

‎Imam Ibn Baz said a man who marries a righteous previously married woman is rewarded in sha' Allah. The Prophet ﷺ‎ said to choose the one with religion (Muslim), so if you are pleased with her religion and character, pray istikharah and proceed.
