Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is excessive thinking about marriage, even during prayer, considered an attachment of the heart to other than Allah, and what is its cure?
Answer:
If he is in need of marriage and thinks about it, he is not to be blamed for it, because he is seeking something he needs, which is among what Allah the Exalted has made permissible. However, he must not bring it into the prayer; he must not bring it into the prayer. If there is distraction in the prayer, as mentioned in the hadith, he should restrict himself to the prayer and leave the thoughts for times other than prayer, because this reduces his humility. Yes.
