As
for the saying that, getting married at an early age diverts from gaining
knowledge and from studying, this is not the case. Rather, the opposite of this
is correct because tranquility, peace of mind, and pleasure never cease to be
obtained through marriage. These things help the student to reach his goal
because, he has peace of mind, and his thoughts are not cluttered due to
discomfort and this helps him study.
Now
on the other hand abstaining from marriage in reality blocks whatever knowledge
he wants to attain, because it is not possible to acquire knowledge in a state
of confusion and anxiety. However, if he gets married, his mind is at rest and
his soul is at ease. He gets a house to take as a shelter and a wife
who relaxes and helps him. These things help him to attain knowledge.
If
Allaah makes it easy and this marriage becomes a source of comfort to become a relationship,
then this is from among the things which make it easy for the student to pursue
knowledge. Matrimony does not block the path to knowledge as some believe. For
that reason, having children is an enormous blessing in this life and in the
next.
