Does marriage prevent a young man from helping his parents and fulfilling their rights, especially with the existence of some family problems?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a young man is capable of marriage and fears falling into sin, then marriage is obligatory upon him. It is good, a blessing, and a cause for richness. The best way to reciprocate the kindness of parents is through righteousness and good treatment, and this does not conflict with marriage. However, if the family circumstances do not permit, there is no harm in delaying marriage, as long as the young man does not fear falling into what displeases Allah. He is advised to fast to weaken desire and to lower his gaze.
