The important thing is for the man to find a righteous person, and the important thing for the man is to find a righteous woman, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Choose the religious, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك
Sunan Ibn Majah 1858Sahih (Darussalam)
He said -peace and blessings be upon him-:
A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status. her beauty and her religion, so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust.تنكح المرأة لأربع: لمالها ولحسبها ولجمالها ولدينها، فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك
Sahih Muslim 1466
And it is narrated from him -peace and blessings be upon him-...........
Whatever angers Allah , may Allah grant everyone success and guidance, yes.

The presenter: May Allah accept, may Allah reward you with good, so is refraining from marriage considered forbidden?

The Shaykh: It is not permissible, yes, when one has the ability, yes.

The presenter: When one has the ability, may Allah reward you with good.
