Asslamualaikum... I am a student of 24 years old. I wish to marry to keep away from haraam. My father is financially sound. It takes around 4 years to complete my studies and get into a good job, by then i will be 28 years old. Is there any provision to marry a girl for a student like me?

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Perhaps the way for you to get married is to convince your father of the importance of your marriage and that it will be helpful to protect you from committing prohibitions. As a matter of fact, marriage may even help you continue your study, especially at the present time where uncovering, temptations and mixing of opposite sexes have become wide-spread.

To convince your father, you must seek the help of Allaah in Whose Hand is every thing and Who alone runs all the matters of this universe. Supplicate Him as much as possible since the Prophet informed us that Allaah will help the one who seeks to get married to preserve his chastity.

For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 81853 and 84779.

Allaah Knows best.
