Question:
And may Allah bless you. Umm Yusuf is inquiring about some phrases. She says that some people repeat the phrase: “Marriage is half of the faith.”
Answer:
Yes, that is so. Marriage is very important because of the protection it offers to chastity and the safeguarding it provides against what is forbidden. As the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 Marriage contains great benefits. It is also a cause for having offspring, and for the righteous offspring to expiate the sins of the community. There is no doubt that marriage contains great benefits, especially for the one who fears for himself from trial. Yes.
