Should a young man capable of marriage abstain from it and dedicate himself and his money to resisting the occupation, or should he proceed with marriage?
The best for a Muslim is to follow the guidance of the righteous predecessors. The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to encourage his companions to marry, as he said: "O young people, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it helps him lower his gaze and guard his chastity." He also encouraged Julaibib to marry, and when he was martyred, his widowed wife was the most generous. Therefore, marriage is recommended to protect oneself from evils, and one should seek a righteous believing woman who will help with religious matters, for in the : "Whoever Allah grants a righteous wife, He has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the other half."
