Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a young man who is nineteen years old. I tried to get married but I was unable to, and I tried to strive in the path of Allah, but my parents refused. I am afraid for my religion, as trials surround me, especially in my home. What advice do you give me? May Allah grant you success?

Answer:
You must be steadfast. You must be steadfast upon the truth, and have patience, and hold a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Know that relief will come. Know that relief will come, if Allah wills. Hold a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),
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
[An-Nur 24:33]
, be patient.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint (wija') for him.ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فإنه له وجاء
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam)
. This is also a remedy if you have intense desire and you fear for yourself and are unable to marry, then you must fast. Fast more, for it will solve the problem, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
In any case, you must hold a good opinion of Allah and wait for relief, and relief is near, if Allah wills, and have patience. Yes.
