I need advice from you expert guys, if this lens is good enough for my rebel t3? Mostly for low light and portraits.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest spending a little more for the Canon 50mm STM lens. It can be bought from their refurbished web page for less than $100. It gets stellar reviews as a fantastic value lens. I have one and it delivers IQ far above its meager price point. Here is a link to Canon's web page for it:

Also, don't worry about buying a refurbished product from Canon.  I have bought several items from them and they all have been flawless in function and form.
