Fatwa #345629 July 2001United Kingdom

I am engaged to be married but my fiance wishes to finish of her studies first. This would postpone the nikka for 6 months to a year. What should I do?

Question

I wish to marry as soon as possible. Should I just have patience as Allah has planned everything and we will just have to wait for the time to come?

Answer

If you can suppress your desires and abstain from sin, then you should
exercise patience.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
