Is marrying a religious girl whom a man admires for her piety and character, with the intention of building a Muslim household and helping her in her religious affairs, considered among "emigration for worldly gain which he acquires, or a woman he marries," for which its doer receives no reward, according to the Hadith "Deeds are only by intentions"?

The Hadith, "Deeds are only by intentions," means that matters depend on their objectives. Whoever claimed to emigrate for the sake of Allah and His Messenger while intending a worldly gain, is blameworthy for showing what he did not conceal. As for one who emigrated for marriage, or intended both emigration and marriage and did not conceal anything contrary to what he showed, there is no blame in his action. Whoever sought marriage along with emigration will be rewarded for the intention of emigration, but less than one who was sincere. And whoever sought marriage solely with the intention of chastity will also be rewarded. One who travels to marry a religious girl whose piety and character he admired, and wishes to support her in her faith and for her to be his wife in Paradise, his intention is not considered solely for worldly gain. Rather, he is rewarded for his good intention and for chasteing himself, and this does not contradict the Hadith.
