What is the ruling on conducting the marriage contract before the wedding (a few months or a year) with the aim of enabling the young man to visit his fiancée in her family's home and be satisfied with her conversation over other women, and can this be a reason for seeking provision (rizq)?

There is no harm in concluding the marriage contract before the wedding feast (walima) or the wedding ceremony itself. If the contract is validly concluded, the husband acquires marital rights. However, it is preferable to observe customary practices to avoid embarrassment and problems. The wife is entitled to her full maintenance and dowry immediately upon the conclusion of the contract, even if the wedding ceremony has not taken place. Marriage is obligatory for whoever fears temptation for himself, and it is recommended for whoever desires chastity, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty. And whoever cannot afford to marry, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." Marriage is a cause for sustenance, as Allah Almighty says: "And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty," and in the hadith: "There are three whom Allah is duty-bound to help: the mujahid [fighter] in the cause of Allah, the mukatab [slave who has a contract of emancipation] who wants to pay his debt, and the one who marries seeking chastity."
