Why should a person marry?

Q: Why should a person marry?

A: Nikaah is an emphasized sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that the one who turns away from my sunnah is not from me. Hence, if one does not have a valid excuse not to get married and one is able to get married, then one should get married. Apart from this, nikaah is the means through which a person will be safeguarded from falling into sin.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
