How important is the financial status?

I’m surprised if the lecturer said ‘financial STATUS’ was important in marriage. As far as I am aware, scholars recommend getting married asap to avoid haram, on traits such as deen, akhlaaq and so on, despite what the boy is earning because rizq is from Allah and He has determined it for everybody. Of course, in a situation where you have two proposals, both religious and both dependable with the only difference one being more stable than the other, then the choice would be your own and people would prefer someone who has a career/ is able to provide for the family.

Money comes and money goes, what remains is taqwah and good naturedness.

Ok one should get married to avoid haram even if it means you will end up getting divorced quite soon :halo: Which Quran suggests this? Atleast mine don’t.

Not to offend you/anyone but in order to truly understand Quran one has to think logically. Quran is said to have answer/help for each and every matter but that doesn’t mean that it literally will have a list of answers to each and every problem like “hey this is what you have to do if you can’t get a job, etc etc”…You have to connect things and consider the basic principles and moral grounds while seeking direction.

Btw, you are 100% right that rizq is from Allah so why don’t we all just stop working for it? Sit at home and wait to be awarded rizq cuz after all he has promised us that? Kya khayal hai?

Again, i am not saying money is THE most important thing but it definately is important but i would never prioritise it over a better muslim and a better human being.
