In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

In this fatwa:

  1. Marriage is half your faith (iman), not deen (religion). 
  2. There are a lot of exercises of faith in having a family and being married facilitates, such as patience, care, and responsibility. 
  3. However, you do not lack half your faith if you do not end up getting married.
