Is marriage obligatory for a Muslim, and will he be punished if he does not marry, or is he not sinful if he abandons marriage and dedicates himself to worship, travel, and enjoying life without disobedience?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Abandoning marriage may be contrary to what is superior. If a Muslim does not fear temptation for himself and dedicates himself to worship, knowledge, and da'wah (calling to Islam), then he will be rewarded. It is advisable to establish a Muslim household and marry women from the same nationality to increase understanding. There is no objection to marrying a righteous European Muslim woman. Smoking is forbidden due to the diseases it causes.
