{"_id":"668da02a0b76658b4c232fd6","title":"Is it permissible to get married before the man can financially support his spouse?","question":"I've seen some situations where people get the nikkah done so they can talk to each other and spend time with one another but wait to move in with one another until the man is financially stable. Usually happens to young ones in college. Would this be permissible or would it be better to avoid?","answer":"Once the nikah is performed, they are legally married, as far as the shariah is concerned. The husband is responsible for housing and other expenses. However, if the girl agrees to forgive the husband of all financial responsibilities until they move in together and her parents or wali agree to continue providing housing and financial support until then, it's permissible. However, I think it's better to avoid committing to something until you're ready to handle the responsibility.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a9","tag":"Relationships: Potential Spouse","count":44},{"_id":"668da0150b76658b4c232daf","tag":"Relationships: Spouse","count":42}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:10.032Z"}
