Is it obligatory for a father who has wealth to marry off his son?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the first hadith, is it obligatory for one who has wealth to marry off his child if the child has no wealth, based on his saying:
see if you can find something انظر هل تجد شيئاً
Sahih Muslim 1425a
?

The Shaykh : No, this does not indicate that; the hadith does not indicate this.

The questioner : It does not specify, meaning whether this matter is necessary or not necessary.

The Shaykh : No, it does not indicate this... it could be his mother, it could be his father, we do not know.

The questioner : He is not married.

The Shaykh : We do not know; he may be married and his wife may have died, or he may want a second wife, and Allah knows best. Yes.

The questioner : When a man marries a woman.

The Shaykh : But the obligation of a man to marry off his son is taken from another evidence, from the obligation of financial maintenance, because marriage is like spending.

The questioner : If a man marries a woman without a guardian out of fear, because if the guardian came he would not marry her, and he married her without the guardian's permission and had intercourse with her, will they be flogged?

The Shaykh : What do you say?

The questioner : The question.
