Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a man who desires to marry another woman out of fear of falling into sin, but does not have sufficient funds due to high prices and heavy debts? Is it permissible for him to enter into a misar marriage?
Answer:
A misar marriage does not achieve the desired purpose. The children do not become his responsibility, nor does he raise them. The woman does not come under his authority, nor is she under his control and supervision. The desired marriage is not achieved; rather, only one thing is achieved, which is mere desire. This is not sufficient. Yes.
