Question:
I am a young man who cannot get married due to the high cost of marriage. Is there any way to assist young men who want to marry, and if so, how can that be done? And peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
Answer:
In any case, he should seek means, borrow, or take out a loan, and Allah will suffice him. He should request assistance from the authorities, or assistance under their supervision if it is available to him, or receive a portion of it. He should seek means, and Allah will give him, Allah will help 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 wants things to be done according to his whims. No, he must seek means, work, toil, borrow, and take out a loan. He must do things until the mahr (bridal gift) becomes easy for him. He should seek people who are not difficult in their demands, seeking good people who are pleased with a relative from their tribe, or someone from another tribe, or other good people. If his tribe is difficult in their demands, he should look elsewhere. And, praise be to Allah, there are many such people. Welcome.
