How can a young man who desires to marry according to the Sunnah of Allah and His Messenger, and who supports his family, deal with today's girls who focus on money?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wise Sharia has encouraged and made desirable marriage, and it is not exclusive to those who possess wealth. Many young women seek a righteous husband, and there is a promise from Allah to enrich those who marry from His bounty, as clarified by the verse: "If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing." (An-Nur 24:32). It has been authentically narrated in the Hadith that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Three are entitled to Allah's help: one who marries seeking chastity..." And for those who are unable to marry, they should fast, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified: "O young men, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it helps lower the gaze and guards one's chastity. And whoever is not able to do so, then he should fast, for it will be a shield for him."
