What is the solution for someone who has many worries, and his greatest worry is marriage, yet he possesses no money and is unable to fast?
One who is experiencing financial hardship and lacks the means to marry is advised to practice chastity (istiffaf) and patience until Allah enriches him from His bounty, as Allah Almighty and His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, have commanded. He should strengthen his connection with Allah, cling to Him, and resort to Him through supplication, asking Him to bestow patience upon him and help him in his chastity. This should be accompanied by diligently lowering his gaze, blocking avenues of temptation, avoiding everything that incites desire, occupying his time with what benefits him, and keeping company with the righteous.
