Does one who is unable to marry fail to complete half of his religion?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, he says: If one is unable to marry, does that mean he has not completed half of his religion?

Answer:
He is excused if he is unable to marry; he is excused,
But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty.وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّىٰ يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
[An-Nur 24:33]
he is excused, and he delays marriage until he is able.
