She does not want to go through another bad
    marriage
Question

                I am a practising Muslim
      woman, alhamdulillaah. I got married to a man and travelled with him to a strange country.
      Because of his bad attitude and bad treatment, I got divorced from him. Now another man
      has come and proposed marriage to me. He calls me up every day to see what I think about
      it. He has admitted that he used to have intimate relationships [with women] and that he
      used to drink alcohol, but recently he has given that up and has not had any relationships
      for six months, after he regretted what he had done and promised to give up this sin.I want to settle down and feel safe, and not live alone any
      more, but I want someone who will fear Allaah with regard to the way he treats me. I do
      not want to go through another bad experience. What do you advise me?
Praise be to Allah.The information you have stated about this
    second person is not encouraging. The fact that he calls a non-mahram woman on a daily
    basis is cause for suspicion. It is not necessary to call her every in order to find out
    her opinion and her response. The promises that he spoke about may be genuine or may not
    be. Hence our advice to you is as follows:
Try to ask others about him, and about the new situation he claims to be
    in. Maybe you will find that he has some righteous female relatives who will be able to
    give you some useful pointers. Of course, asking questions and checking information will
    take time, but that does not matter, because of the seriousness of the issue. If, after
    you have found out about the mosque where he prays, the classes he attends, or the books
    and tapes he reads and listens to, you feel that he is most likely sincere and if you feel
    that you are able to cope with the possibility of a second failed marriage – Allaah
    forbid – and that it would not be too great a loss if you were to leave him after
    discovering that he is a hypocrite and a cheat, then we see no reason why you should not
    marry him. You can set out conditions and make clear requests in the marriage contract,
    such as requiring that he do all the prayers on time, and give up major sins like drinking
    alcohol, committing immoral actions, and so on. Tell him that you are going to take him at
    face value and deal with him on that basis. Also, do not forget to pray Istikhaarah. We
    ask Allaah to help you make the right decision and to guide you. May Allaah bless our
    Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
