Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Does marriage help in seeking knowledge?
Answer:
People differ in this. If a person needs marriage, fears for himself, and does not find stability in seeking knowledge unless he marries, then it is obligatory for him to marry if he is able, because it helps him in seeking knowledge and finding stability. But if he does not fear for himself and has strength in his faith and religion, then marriage is not obligatory for him; he should devote himself to seeking knowledge.
