Is it permissible to marry with the intention of divorce for fear of falling into sin? Is it permissible to inform friends of this and marry them off? Is it permissible to marry without informing the parents temporarily or permanently, deeming it sufficient to inform the witnesses? Is masturbation permissible for one who fears falling into fornication, as is the case with the Hanafis? Does blood entering from the nose break the fast of a fasting person?

Marrying with the intention of divorce is impermissible, according to the more preponderant opinion. Marrying off friends as a ma'dhun (authorized officiant) or wakil (agent) is permissible if the conditions are met. Parental knowledge is not a condition for the validity of a man's marriage, but consulting them is better. Masturbation is forbidden. Whatever enters the stomach or throat through the nose intentionally invalidates the fast.
