The questioner should dismiss the intrusive thoughts concerning his money and affairs, for what he called "taxes" are in fact fees for occupying spaces and utilizing machinery. As for his need to marry, he must place his trust in Allah Almighty and sincerely turn to Him in supplication, for He, Glorified be He, answers prayers and has promised to answer those who invoke Him. As for those who cannot marry, they should remain chaste and patient, and they should fast, for it is a shield for them.
