Is it permissible for a woman to have "other criteria" in receiving a man's proposalcriteria other than hisbeing religious-commitmentcommited when accepting a marriage proposal?

I don't know if this is a good question.

A shahihshahih hadith states:

"AA woman may be married for four things: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty and her religious commitment. Seek the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust." [Narrated by Bukhari-Muslim]

[Narrated by Bukhari-Muslim]

Say, a woman is, being proposed by a number of good men (or, being asked if the man can propose her, or being being asked if there is no other man is proposing her at the moment).

Say she's chose one of them. Say she choses one of them.

My question is, if she puts some other criteria aside from this man's religious commitment, is it permissible in Islam according to Quran and Hadith (and the above one)? Let's

Let's say these criteria are like; a taller man (than her), a man who can speak English (because she's learning English), a man with a beard, a man that is not too fat and not too skinny,like a man that is wiser and more resolute than her. And so forth.:

  • taller than her
  • who can speak English (because she's learning English)
  • with a beard
  • that is not too fat nor too skinny
  • man that is wiser and more resolute than her. And so forth.

If she already includesdoes have a man's being religiously-committed as part of the "religiously-committed" criterion for accepting his/their marriage proposal(s), are theis it permissible to include other criteria she puts into consideration permissible, such as those mentioned above, while doing so?
