The question

Is it better to expedite the marriage by holding a simple ceremony—in accordance with the Hadith: "Hold a wedding feast, even if only with one sheep"—despite the risk of infection, or to postpone it until the danger subsides, especially since the suitor fears for his religious commitment due to the delay in marriage?

The answer

It is recommended to hasten marriage due to the immense good and benefits it contains, such as safeguarding one's chastity, and it should not be delayed awaiting the end of the pandemic. The marriage should be solemnized in the narrowest possible scope, and it is not permissible to work in a place where there is unlawful mixing of genders unless there is a necessity.
