Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it obligatory for a man who fears for himself regarding zina, but is financially unable to marry, to get married?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory for him even if he is unable,[An-Nur 24:33], but as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam) and fasting removes the intensity of desire and removes the danger of falling into zina. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it obligatory for a man who fears for himself regarding zina, but is financially unable to marry, to get married?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory for him even if he is unable,
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 فَضْلِهِand whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint
ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم، فإنه له
