The Importance of Early Marriage and the Encouragement of It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Perhaps, Honorable Shaykh, you could speak about the virtue of early marriage for young men and women, and the reward that comes with it?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged young people to marry, saying: O young men,
whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for itمن استطاع منكم الباءه فليتزوج فانه اغض للبصر واحصن للفرج ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فانه له
Sunan Ibn Majah 1845Sahih (Darussalam)
and so early marriage

The presenter:
This is how it is achieved.

The Shaykh:
There are benefits, the greatest of which is guarding the private parts and lowering the gaze, and these are two great matters. Also, bearing offspring, and this too, and solidarity between the spouses, where each one attends to the interests of the other, and cooperation is established between the spouses. Also, the husband’s responsibility toward his wife in terms of support, care, and protection. All of these are great matters to which one should hasten; the sooner, the better. Yes.
