The questioner : He says: If a young man delays marriage until after the age of thirty while he is able to marry, is there anything required of him because he wants to build his future and complete his education?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is something required of him, and that is that he did not follow the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):Mishkat al-Masabih 3080.
