Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to refuse marriage, nor to cut himself off from his Muslim brothers, nor to be severe with himself in worship. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
As for me, I fast and I break the fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever rejects my Sunnah is not one of me.
أما أنا فأصوم وأفطر، وأصلي وأنام، وأتزوج النساء، ومن رغب عن سنتي فليس مني.
