Ustadh Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid | Salafi Publications
Imaam Abdul-Azeez Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked about the traits of a righteous wife, so he answered, “A righteous wife is one who is steadfast upon the commands of Allaah. She guards her Prayers by praying them at the correct times. She keeps herself far away from displaying her beautification when she goes out to the marketplaces. She is well-known for her fine conduct, appearance, and behaviour. This is the righteous wife. So, the woman you wish to marry, ask concerning her [character] due to the saying of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him)
“Marry the one with the religion and you will be successful.” So, if she informs you that she guards her prayers, that she covers
herself and does not display her beautification–and she does not involve herself in lying and so on [from the sins], then this is the righteous woman. May Allaah make our affair and your affair easy.”
