The answer

It appears that "marriage" (نكاح) in the encompasses both the contract and consummation, as consummation is the intended purpose and a cause for chastity and tranquility, and it cannot be achieved without a contract. Thus, consummation is the cause of wealth, and it is not permissible without a contract. It is mentioned in the Hadith: "Three are rightfully aided by Allah... the one who marries seeking chastity." And from Ibn Umar: "I wonder at one who does not desire marriage, while Allah the Almighty says: 'If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His bounty.'"
