Delaying Marriage on the Pretext of Seeking Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, what is your opinion of one who delays marriage on the pretext of seeking knowledge? Is delaying marriage among the etiquettes of the student of knowledge? We ask for clarification.
Answer:
If he does not fear for himself, if he does not fear for himself regarding delaying marriage and devotes himself to seeking knowledge, then this is a good thing. But if he fears for himself regarding the harm, falling into what has no good outcome, then he should get married. Marriage does not prevent one from seeking knowledge; rather, it may even help him in seeking knowledge. Yes.
