Is delaying marriage due to refusing to communicate or interact with men, for fear of falling into the unlawful, considered reliance on Allah, or does it contradict striving? What is the role of an unmarried woman in society? How can she deal with circumstances that compel her to interact with men? What is the Sharia ruling on the inability to bear sexual desire without marriage?

First: Marriage is predestined by Allah, just like everything else. Worldly giving and withholding are not indicative of Allah's pleasure or wrath. A woman is not blamed for not marrying if she adheres to Allah's law and takes the available means; however, she is blamed if she rejects suitors without justification or isolates herself.

Second: A man's choice of a beautiful woman is relative, and tastes differ, but what is blameworthy is neglecting a woman's religiosity when choosing, for religion is the most important, as stated in the Hadith (definition): "A woman is married for four reasons... so choose the religious woman."

Third: The wisdom behind creating women, just like the wisdom behind creating men, is to worship and obey Allah. This includes performing obligatory acts and supererogatory deeds, guarding one's chastity, helping others, and refraining from harm, and it is not limited to bearing children.

Fourth: Financial support (nafaqah (definition)) is obligatory for fathers towards children who do not possess wealth or are unable to earn. As for masturbation, it is often a means to relieve tension and psychological distress, and it can be overcome through remembrance [of Allah], reading the Quran, prayer, and seeking help from a religious female psychiatrist.
