What is the ruling on one who forbids marriage and women upon himself?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
No one is permitted to forbid what Allah Almighty has made lawful, whether it be women or food, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors" (Al-Ma'idah/87). Whoever does so must repent to Allah Almighty and offer expiation for breaking an oath. The ruling on marriage varies according to a person's situation, ability, and need.
