Is it permissible to suggest a different profession to the potential groom, given his age and financial situation?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
As salaam wa alaikum yesterday i went to see a person for my sisters marriage. He is older to her by 15 years and is profession is hindi movie director. Is it proper for me to further progress in the matter as i think his source of income is not halal. Can i ask him to leave that profession but than what other work can i suggest, plus he is having enough money which is earned by his existing profession. Kindly guide me in the matter. Awaiting ur early response

Answer

(Fatwa: 1797/1625/B=1430)

It is not good to tie a knot with the person whose source of income is unlawful. You will consume unlawful morsel after marriage, it is a sinful act. You shoul look for a boy whose source of income is Halal or if you can convince him to leave his unlawful business for forever, it is far better.
