The question

What are the benefits of early marriage, and is it useful for treating excessive absentmindedness? Is it permissible to proceed with it by relying on Allah, given the availability of some money and a promise of a benevolent loan, or should one wait until he becomes stronger and his mind fully matures due to his young age?

The answer

Marriage is recommended and desirable in Islamic law, and initiating it is sought after due to the religious and worldly benefits it entails, such as safeguarding chastity and lowering gazes. It is also an effective remedy for the distracting thoughts that afflict the youth. If a person fears falling into sin, it becomes obligatory for them to hasten to marry if they are able, because marriage protects the soul and diverts it from unlawful acts.
