Is it more appropriate for a man to marry while studying—at his father's expense—or to wait until he completes his studies and finds a job, knowing that job opportunities are available?

Marriage is among the good deeds that necessitate hastening, as it encompasses numerous worldly and otherworldly benefits. It is better than supererogatory acts of worship for one who desires marriage, and studying is not an impediment to marriage. If the father is well-off, it is obligatory for him to marry off his poor son and to provide for him and his wife. Marriage may be a cause of wealth and the facilitation of sustenance. The son should utilize his free time in suitable work, while relying on Allah.
