Is it permissible to disobey one's father and get married due to widespread temptations and the inability to fast, leading to masturbation, especially given that there is religiosity and no need for the father's money?
Parents do not have the right to object to their son's desire to marry, and studying is not a legitimate impediment to marriage. Marriage is obligatory for whoever fears falling into immorality. It is advisable to seek Allah's help and supplicate for the facilitation of marriage, then to seek the help of wise individuals to convince the father to agree. Otherwise, marriage is permissible without his consent, as obedience to parents is only in what is good and permissible. Some jurists have made it obligatory for a financially capable father to marry off his son who is in need. Masturbation is forbidden and entails harms, and it must be avoided along with everything that incites lust. It is also important to note the danger of residing in lands of disbelief and the obligation to emigrate from them for whoever fears temptation.
