Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 21359 )
Q2: Since I am a student in the third year of secondary school, I want to delay my marriage until I complete my studies. However, I have heard that this is disliked in the Shari'ah. I am aware that I do not have the ability to marry at the appropriate age, and I am aware that there is a teacher who refused to marry despite being financially capable. I wanted to seek your advice. What is your opinion? My Muslim brothers: I hope you will provide me with the answers, as I am confused. Please accept my highest regards.
A2: Initiating marriage for a young man is a recommended practice (sunnah) for one who can afford the costs of marriage and fulfill the rights of the marital relationship; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 It is agreed upon as authentic. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Young man, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it keeps you from looking at strange women and preserves you from immorality; but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting, for it is a means of suppressing sexual desire.
يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج؛ فإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج، ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فإنه له وجاء
