How can patience be a solution for someone who cannot marry for many years due to exorbitant costs, while fearing falling into sin and being unable to marry outside their local environment?
Supplicate to Allah and turn to Him, for He answers the prayer of the distressed, and do not despair; for His mercy is vast. You should also know that the Shari'ah has guided against extravagance in marriage expenses, as low cost is among the reasons for its blessing. It is not necessary for a person to own a house, nor to pay a large dowry; what is required is facilitation. Seek a righteous family that will assist you in marriage, and do not hesitate to expedite marriage as much as possible; for it contains great benefits and protects the soul from temptations, especially in corrupt environments.
