Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a young man, twenty years old, and I want to get married, but my father wants me to study in university and complete my studies, and I am unable to get married if I start university studies. His question says: I told my father that I am afraid for myself, but he objects. What is your advice to me and to him regarding this?
Answer:
If you are able to get married, get married, even if the father is not pleased with this. Study does not prevent marriage; you study and get married, there is no contradiction. But first, convince your father. If he refuses and you are able to get married with your own money, get married. Yes.
