Why should one get married?
Question
Why should I get married? Can't I stay alone and pray and do sajda and sadaqa in Allah's path. Marriage would lead me to gunaah and all?
Answer
Not making nikaah generally leads a person to bigger crimes and sins. Hence, marriage is a preference unless you cannot manage at all to undertake the responsibilities of nikaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
