Assisting the young man with the costs of marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man who cannot get married due to the exorbitant cost of marriage. Is there any way to assist young men who want to get married? And if there is a way, how can that be done? And peace be upon you.
Answer:
In any case, he should seek means, benefit, borrow, and Allah will provide for him. He should ask the authorities for assistance, or the assistance under their supervision; if he qualifies, he will be given from it. He should seek means, and Allah will give it to him, or rather, Allah will make it easy for him if he is sincere. If he is sincere in his marriage, Allah will make his affair easy. But the calamity is his heedlessness and indifference. He does things that benefit him according to his own desires. He must seek means, work, and toil. He should borrow, take out loans, and do things until the mahr (bridal gift) becomes easy for him. He should seek a suitable match among those who do not have much wealth, and learn from them. The righteous are pleased with a close relative, and he has a portion of his tribe. He should look among the other tribes, and among other good people. If his tribe is expensive in mahr, he should look among others. So, by the power of Allah, there are many people available.
