The ruling on some people saying it is better not to marry early

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: I am a young man in my twenties, and I intend to get married because I am seeking chastity. I read an article stating that early marriage is not suitable for a young man or woman because they do not know themselves, are not mature, and have not learned from life. What is the truth of this?

Answer:
The Prophet
God’s Messenger as saying, “Young man, those of you who can support a wife should marryصلى الله عليه وسلم قال يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج
Mishkat al-Masabih 3080
because youth is a place where desire is strong, and there is fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for them. So the one who says a young man should not marry early is contradicting the Sunnah and saying something from his own head that has no basis, or he is imitating those who are currently fighting against marriage and diminishing its status. Yes.
