Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for me to seek assistance for the purpose of marriage?
Answer:
If you fear for yourself falling into immorality, it is permissible for you to seek assistance to chaste yourself and save yourself from this danger, if you are unable to afford the costs of marriage and you fear for yourself falling into immorality or zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), then you strive for marriage and seek assistance from your brothers. But if you do not fear for yourself falling into immorality, then your patience is better for you until Allah enriches you and you marry from your own wealth[An-Nur 24:33].

But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty.
وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّىٰ يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
