Is it better for a poor person who saves nothing to get married or to be patient, so as not to make his life miserable and to find peace of mind for worship?
The summary of the is that the marriage of a poor person is permissible if he is able to provide for his wife, and it is even commendable for him. However, if he is unable to provide, some scholars have prohibited his marriage unless he fears falling into fornication, in which case he must inform the woman of his condition. Others have permitted him to marry, relying on God. Marriage does not contradict worship; rather, it is among the traditions of the Prophets and Messengers. Some jurists have even stipulated that it is superior to devoting oneself solely to worship. Furthermore, striving to provide for one's family is considered to be in the path of God.
