Encouraging Youth to Participate in the Charitable Marriage Project

Question:
This is a letter I heard from the Shaykh—I don’t know if you saw the last one or if we should add to it. It says: With the praise of Allah the Exalted and His success, the charitable project to assist youth has given much, praise be to Allah. The number of beneficiaries has reached two thousand seven hundred and fifty young men and women, and approximately eighteen million riyals have been spent for them. The number of firstborn children born to those who married through the project has reached two hundred and ninety-eight. He also wants to encourage youth to participate in this project?

Answer:
May Allah reward the people of the project with good, and may He reward those in charge of it with good, and at their head, Shaykh Abdulmuhsin Khyal and his assistants. May Allah reward them with good for facilitating marriage for the youth. I call upon the listeners to help this project and support it with whatever wealth Allah has made easy for them. I call upon the youth to hasten to marriage and not to be extravagant. I advise everyone not to be extravagant, neither on the part of the woman nor the part of the man. I advise everyone to keep the mahr (bridal gift) modest and not to be extravagant with wedding feasts, so that marriage may be facilitated. I advise everyone to be tolerant and not to be extravagant. Yes. May Allah guide everyone and bless everyone, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
