The answer

Learning what must be learned is not difficult, and earning money for marriage is an act of worship for which one is rewarded. Allah helps those who seek chastity. We advise you to strive diligently in earning to keep yourself chaste, and this does not contradict seeking knowledge, as many have combined both. The matter requires reliance on Allah, time management, reducing idleness, and diligent supplication. If you are sincere in your intention, Allah will assist and grant you success.
