Early Marriage for the Young Man and the Young Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, the questioner says: Some people say that early marriage for young men and women is not successful, because first, they are not themselves yet, and second, because they have not learned from life. He mentions that marriage should be after the age of twenty-five. Is this statement correct on its face?
Answer:
This is incorrect. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O young men,Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam) As for the one who cannot afford it, he should wait, as Allah the Exalted said: [An-Nur 24:33] [An-Nur 24:33].
As for casting doubts about marriage, saying that a young man's marriage will be like this or that will happen to him, this is among delusions and also among the obstacles to marriage. So the one who is able to marry and fears for himself from harm must marry to protect himself, even if he is young. In fact, the young man is more deserving of marriage because of his strength. Yes.

May Allah reward you and bless you.
