Choosing not to get married

· 29 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am young. I am physically and sexually fit. I do my hard exercises on a daily basis. I have a job and I earn (halaal). I try to give most of my time in worship. Now, the matter is that I don't want to marry, I just want to live my life as single till death. What should I do?

Answer

The sunnat is to marry, unless you have some genuine valid reasons not to marry.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
