I’m 15 and struggling with the fitnah of women, repeatedly falling into sin. Marriage is legal at 18 where I live, but parents follow a culture where sons marry at 27–30 after university and financial stability. How can I stay chaste and hope to marry a righteous wife who wears niqab? 4someone else

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
Fast as much as you can, lower your gaze, and keep away from what leads to fitnah, because the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever is unable to marry should fast, for it is a shield for him (Muslim). Keep speaking to your parents gently and repeatedly about marrying early, while staying dutiful to them. As for financial stability, well, who will give you his daughter in marriage while you are not stable financially? Focus, be successful and strive in regards to your piety, manners, character, responsibilities, and financial stability by the will of Allah and that way everyone can see that you are responsible and can get married earlier, in sha'a Allah.
