Does the Muslim's not marrying prevent him from entering Paradise, and can a person be pious and unmarried at the same time?

Islam does not stipulate marriage as a condition for entering Paradise. However, if a person fears falling into forbidden acts, then they must marry; otherwise, they are in error. A person can be pious and unmarried, but this is rare. The predominant view is that whoever abandons marriage is either incapable or dissolute, as Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said. Islam encourages marriage and considers it among the traditions of the Prophets, and it forbids abandoning it, even for the sake of worship. "There is no monasticism in Islam."
