Choosing not to get married
Question
Is that person sinful who does not marry in this world if he/she does not find someone as relgious and God fearing as him/her in this world and wants to remain unmarried to marry somone very pious/God fearing in the Hereafter because a more religious/God fearing person will have better rewards in Paradise and would share them with his/her partner.
Answer
If he has the patience not to get involved in haraam and he averts marriage for the protection of his own deen then he will not be sinful.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
