What is the guidance for a young man who cannot marry and whose mother prevents him from fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I want to get married, but making a living is difficult for me because of the high cost of living, and my mother prevents me from fasting. Is it permissible for me to fast?

Answer:
Yes, if you are afraid for yourself and are unable to get married, fast, even if your mother objects. Do not obey her; obey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). However, it is better to convince your mother and explain the matter to her so that she is pleased and understands.
