Is a source of income required for a man in order to get married?

The questioner : The apparent meaning of the hadiths that were reported regarding the issue of marriage is that the man, is he strong in seeking provision or not? It is as if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) meant that if the man has something at the time of marriage, he gives it, and it is likely that once he has a wife, he will seek provision. Whereas now, in the reality of people, one does not know a man who is capable of seeking provision from others unless he has a job. So do we take the reading from the situation, or do we say that a man who marries has nothing?

The Shaykh : Absolutely not. If he has the mahr, he relies on Allah.

The questioner : With us, the job was cut off.

The Shaykh : Absolutely not. The job. It is a problem. I want a professor first.

The questioner : Among people, by custom, it is required that he has a source of income. But

The Shaykh : Most people nowadays, if a man proposes and he is in debt, they marry him off even if they know he has borrowed for the mahr. If he gives them the mahr, then provision is from Allah, and the future is from Allah the Exalted.

The questioner : And this is what should be done based on the hadiths.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. This man now has nothing; he has not even the mahr.
