Marriage Aids the Pursuit of Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is this trip to Riyadh after the marriage or before it?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Was this trip of yours to Riyadh after the marriage?
The Shaykh:
What does marriage have to do with studying?
The questioner:
May Allah preserve you, many people see marriage as an obstacle to seeking knowledge.
The Shaykh:
No, it is not an obstacle to seeking knowledge. Marriage is not an obstacle to seeking knowledge; rather, it may help in seeking knowledge, in that a person feels at ease, is tied to his family, and is free from travel and the things that interrupt the pursuit of knowledge.
