قال رسول الله ﷺ: (يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج فإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فإنه له وجاء). متفق عليه
قال ابن عثيمين رحمه الله:
"وإنني أنصح الشباب في سرعة التزوج
لا سيما في هذا العصر الذي كثرت فيه أسباب الفتن والمغريات".

Fataawa Noor ‘alad-Darb

The Prophet ﷺ said:

«O young men! Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity. And whoever cannot (afford to get married) should fast, for it is a means to suppressing the sexual desire» transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله commented:
‘And I advise the youth to hasten in getting married, particularly in this day and age in which the causes of fitnah and temptations have increased.’
