Question

I am a recent revert and I am changing careers to a sunnah career, and for that I'm changing careers. Finances are tight, should I wait until I graduate to marry or should I do it now? Any advice helps. JazakAllahu Khairun

Answer

If you have the financial resources to cover the basic expenses, you should get married especially if you fear falling into sin.

However, if you are unable to afford it, exercise patience.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
