Question:
This is Abu Haytham from Libya. He says: Your Eminence, a man has reached the age of forty and has not married, as he has no desire for marriage. He is a man who loves good and performs the obligatory prayers at their times. Does he sin by leaving off marriage?
Answer:
If he has no desire, he does not sin. But if he has desire, he must marry if he is able, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 However, if he has no desire, or if he is unable and has no capacity, there is no blame on him.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
