The answer

Delayed marriage is part of Allah's decree, but it cannot be definitively stated that a woman will never marry. A Muslim is obligated to strive and rely on Allah, and to contend with destiny by destiny, and to ward off evil with good, as Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani and Ibn Taymiyyah said, citing the : "Be keen on what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not lose heart," and the hadith: "They are from Allah's decree."
