Question
I am 31 years old and I want to marry but I am unemployed and unable to fulfil wife's duties? Can I stay unmarried?

If you are sure that you will not fall into haraam then you may live unmarried.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
