Is there a specific age for marriage?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah forgive you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 If a young man is able to afford the mahr or has the capacity to marry, and he is, for example, fifteen years old, is it permissible for him to delay? And is there a specific age for marriage?
The Shaykh : No, there is no specific age. It is permissible for him to marry even if he is ten years old. Do you understand? It is said that there were ten years between 'Amr ibn al-'As and his son 'Abdullah. Do you know? That is it. The older the young man is, the better. He says there were eleven years between 'Amr ibn al-'As and his son 'Abdullah. And al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I saw a grandmother who was twenty-one years old", and she was a grandmother. Do you understand what that means? She married early, and her daughter married early. Yes.
