What is the duty of parents towards their son who practices masturbation and wishes to marry to protect himself, and does he legally have the right to financial support from his family for his marriage and for his wife, given that he is a student and has no source of income?

The majority of scholars hold that a father is not obligated to marry off his sons, while the Hanbalis are of the view that it is obligatory for a father to marry off his poor sons who are in need of marriage. The questioner is advised to strive in convincing his father to marry him off, given his need to protect his chastity, and to be patient and keep himself chaste until marriage becomes possible. He should also avoid bad habits, seek refuge in Allah, lower his gaze, stay away from temptations, associate with righteous people, engage in sports, and occupy his time with beneficial activities.
