The father delaying the marriage of his student son
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a university student and I need to get married, and I fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for myself. But whenever I speak to my father, he says to postpone this matter until you graduate. I am not able to marry on my own, because I do not have a mahr (the bridal gift) and I cannot afford the financial maintenance. So what should I do, knowing that I fast, but my desire overcomes me and I am unable to be patient? So guide us, may Allah grant you success.
Answer:
Act according to His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nur 24:33] Be patient, my brother, be patient and practice chastity. Allah is near in bringing relief, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.

Answer:
Act according to His saying, the Exalted:
But 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
