The High Cost of Mahr and Establishing a Fund to Assist the Married

The questioner:
To proceed: talking about marriage is necessary. It is obligatory for every Muslim to be familiar with its aspects and rulings. The youth, Your Eminence the Shaykh, are suffering from the high cost of getting married, which is in the path of their marriage and completing half of their religion. Do you have anything to say on this matter? Establishing a bank or association on the model of the real estate fund, contributing to helping the young men who are about to get married, by borrowing money up to fifty thousand, because marriage these days has reached one hundred and fifty thousand in some places, and so on.

The Shaykh:
Or it comes, because a project may have come to us four years or more ago with assistance of twenty-five thousand, but this assistance does not come quickly due to the fewness of those who give, because the givers in this project are few from their zakah and other means. But it happens to the one who is patient; he gets twenty-five thousand assistance by the measure. If a bank or a bank or a lender facilitates this and people receive it, that is good. But who pays the receipt? Do people pay the receipt? And who takes the injustice except whom Allah wills? Your father was not pleased.
He takes the loan and does not return the loan. What is required of you is assistance, helping him in his marriage without returning the loan. But if there is someone who lends and pledges or asks for guarantors, there is no harm. The state also lends with its conditions, and it may be beneficial and the loan may be returned, but it is necessary that it be light and only assist.

The questioner:
Traveling abroad makes most of the youth poor. The reasons for traveling abroad and enjoying themselves, as they say, are that every year they spend five thousand to seven thousand, and then at the end of the year they are poor. We go out. We can look around.

The Shaykh:
If Allah had hidden. Efforts have been made in this with the state and with the Muslims, and there are many broadcasts on travel and radio, urging the reduction of expenses and feasts, but the littleness of religion and the weakness of religion prevent people from responding. The proportion in the city of Jizan specifically, a man cannot enter with the woman on the night of the dowry, her legal right, except with fifty thousand riyals, and this is what I have told him several times. Allah is the Greatest. Some people with fifty thousand, some people with fifty thousand. He says to her: bring a hundred, a hundred thousand, or you do not obey. Once. He holds the girl with him, and she is married, he holds her with him when he marries her. You do not guide what you love, but Allah guides you. But Allah guides you. That he believes in Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). That he believes in Allah. What is greater than this? Many abominations. And many matters. And the great shirk. And the great open sin. And greater and greater than the other and marriage.
