Re: how namaazi is he/she?
^ Neither. Its a case of setting one's expectations realistically. If someone doesnt pray 5 times he/she should not expect the prospective spouse to be a 5 waqt namaazi either.

True...But that is why a spouse should be chosen from whom one not only betters this life but the next as well which, as a Muslim, is more important...
Otherwise I have seen desis married to people of other faiths and their children farigh from even the very basic of Islamic knowledge...
Re: how namaazi is he/she?
Just wondering how many of gangsters offer their prayers and how many times worez pray daily 
Re: how namaazi is he/she?
So a question for the guys, say if you read namaaz now and again, does it mean you're non-religious as opposed to a guy who regularly reads namaaz? I know guys are a bit slack when it comes to prayers so even if he doesn't read regularly it doesn't necessarily mean he's the devil. But is there room for improvement or change if he reads occasionally? Or should one be quite strict in ones requirements and not compromise on the namaaz factor?
Alhamdulillah, when my marriage was being arranged, the question never came up, because it was understood that we both made 5 times salaat regularly, otherwise neither of us would have even considered the other.
As has been mentioned before, making 5 times daily salaat doesn't in and of itself make someone religious. It's just a basic thing that you can't do without. So in terms of what I'd be looking for (not so much for me anymore, but when my future kids' turns come) is someone who makes salaat 5 times a day, no compromises on that.
The place where there could be room for improvement would be someone who is trying to improve the quality of their salaat, such as concentration, devotion, nafl salaats etc.
Re: how namaazi is he/she?
Lajawab thats a good point but is it fair to the person who already prays five times a day? And it doesnt seem to be Cat Woman's req, it sounds like thats wat her siblings want. Namaz isnt something you should be forced into, theres no point to the deed if it isnt coming from the heart. And how can they reject guys on this basis when their sister doesnt pray five times a day? (And maybe she does, i dont know actually)
The reason I am against this whole thing is because my dad prays 6 times a day (mashallah) and 5 of them at the masjid mostly. Where as my mom isnt all that regular, hes been trying for the past 25 years now but he just cant get her to be regular, not that she doesnt want to but she always somehow ends up missing it. And they have numerous arguments about this. As a child i was forced into praying and hated doing it. And I never learnt the true meaning of praying until now.
What makes you think someones gonna come into her life and change her overnite? What if she doesnt want to change(this would end in divorce)?
