Do I have to fast on specific days, such as Mondays and Thursdays, or is it permissible to fast whenever I feel it is needed?\\n\\nAlso, as I have been searching for a spouse, I’ve noticed that money has become an issue. I work in the field of education and don’t make much, though I do some extra weekend work. How should I ease my mind about financial expectations when seeking marriage? Should I delay marriage until I am more financially stable, or should I marry and make money the least of my worries?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"You can fast every other day, or even every day, if you like.\\n\\nIt really depends on your situation and the comfort level of both you and your future spouse. If you already earn enough to cover the basic necessities, and you are content with that while your future spouse is also comfortable with it, then there is no need to delay marriage for financial reasons. However, if either of you feels that the income is insufficient for stability, then it would be wise to prioritize improving your financial situation first.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68},{"_id":"668da0000b76658b4c232b78","tag":"Fasting: Validity","count":65},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327dc","tag":"Marriage: Other","count":62},{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232995","tag":"Men: Sexual Health","count":25}],"createdOn":"2025-10-02T19:15:21.952Z"}
