Question:
He says: Is the one who is occupied with seeking knowledge and delays marriage sinful?
Answer:
If he fears for himself, if he fears for himself falling into what is forbidden, then it is obligatory for him to marry, and marriage does not prevent him from seeking knowledge; he marries and seeks knowledge at the same time. But if he does not fear for himself falling into what is forbidden, and he wants to seek knowledge first and then marry, there is no obstacle. The important thing is that he does not fear for himself falling into what is forbidden.
