Is it permissible for a young man who is about to get married, has a good income, and whose father provides for him, to take from zakat money under the pretext of needing it for wedding expenses?

It is permissible for you to accept zakat from your relative or anyone else if you are about to get married and do not find sufficient funds to complete it, because you are poor. However, care must be taken not to be extravagant in wedding preparations and to avoid exaggeration in luxuries.
