Answer:
This is the answer to the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the statement
Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot then
من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج، ومن لم يستطع فعليهBut let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty.
وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّىٰ يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
