🧭 Preparation & choosing a spouse · #27
Can I marry while still studying at university?
Yes, and it may be good for preserving one's chastity, on condition that maintenance and responsibilities can be borne and studies are not neglected.
The Prophet ﷺ tied marriage to ability. Students who marry need to plan: a source of maintenance (part-time work, scholarship, agreed family support), housing, pregnancy planning, and time management. Also check the conditions of your scholarship or sponsor and the institution's rules. Allah promises sufficiency to those who marry to preserve their chastity (an-Nur 24:32), but that promise comes with effort. Talk with both sets of parents and use the calculator to estimate costs.
