Obedience to the Father in Preventing Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a young man who needs to get married and I am able to do so, but my father refuses and says, "Wait until you secure your future." Is it obligatory for me to obey my father in this matter?

Answer:
If you fear for yourself falling into what is not permissible, then you get married, even if your father does not approve, because this is removing harm from you, and it is not your father's right to prevent you from marriage when you need it. Yes.
