Does a young man rush into marriage as soon as his soul suggests it to him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim.
The questioner : ..
The Shaykh : What? Repeat?
The questioner : I say...
The Shaykh : ...I say... a wife? May Allah make it easy.
The questioner : ..
The Shaykh : There is no doubt in this. Whenever a person’s need for something becomes intense, and it is something Allah has made permissible, let him do it. This is also part of giving the soul its due. Everything is permissible; if your soul calls you to it, do it and do not delay. Because if you delay, you are restricting yourself in a matter that Allah has made broad for you, and your soul has a right over you. So, if a person, for example, refrains from something his soul desires, and it is something Allah has made permissible, if he does so as an act of worship, he is an innovator. But if he does it to train his soul to rein it in and to strengthen himself against it, then there is a matter to consider: one looks at which of the two is stronger. Yes, Yahya!
