Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I am a high school student, and I try as much as possible to maintain the obligatory acts and what the religion commands. However, I am suffering from a problem, which is that I am unable to marry due to the financial circumstances of this age, and I fear that I will fall into what Allah has forbidden. Are there any specific pieces of advice and guidance for young people like me?
Answer: I advise you and your brothers among the youth with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 It is agreed upon as authentic.
So, my brother, you must fear Allah, be upright in His religion, and fast frequently until marriage becomes easy for you. Ask your Lord for well-being and steadfastness upon the truth, and be glad with good and a good outcome; as Allah the Exalted said:[At-Talaq 65:2] and He will provide for him from where he does not expect. The verse [Al-Talaq: 2, 3].
May Allah make your affair and the affair of every Muslim easy; indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the Near.
Answer: I advise you and your brothers among the youth with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Young man, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it keeps you from looking at strange women and preserves you from immorality; but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting, for it is a means of suppressing sexual desire.
يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج؛ فإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج، ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم؛ فإنه له وجاءSo, my brother, you must fear Allah, be upright in His religion, and fast frequently until marriage becomes easy for you. Ask your Lord for well-being and steadfastness upon the truth, and be glad with good and a good outcome; as Allah the Exalted said:
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا May Allah make your affair and the affair of every Muslim easy; indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the Near.
