Fatwa #41087 November 2001Singapore

Is it permissible for a man not to get married if he feels that he would not make a good husband or be able to fulfill all the needs of his wife?

Answer

If a person is unable to control his desires, and fears he will engage in a
Haraam act, then it is compulsory upon him to marry if he has the means to
do so.

Kindly explain the reasons for the negative feelings in order for us to
comment.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
