The Obligation of Marriage on One Who Fears Falling into the Forbidden
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says regarding marriage: “It is obligatory for one who fears…” [additional text]. The scholars of the Hanafi school stated that it is obligatory if one fears falling into what is forbidden, such as unlawful sexual intercourse, looking at what is forbidden, or the secret habit. They generalize this and do not specify unlawful sexual intercourse alone. Is there a basis for their statement?
Answer:
Yes, his statement here has a basis. If a person, if he does not marry, will engage in what is forbidden, such as unlawful sexual intercourse, or looking at non-mahram women and taking pleasure in them, or committing the secret habit, then it is obligatory for him to marry and not commit these forbidden acts. Yes.
