Editing Islamic marital jurisprudence (section)

====Literalist Opinion====
One school of [[fiqh]] -- that of literalist school founded by [[Dawud al-Zahiri]] (aka Dhaahiri fiqh) holds that marriage is "''[[Fard#Individual_duty_and_sufficiency|farḍ al-'ayn]]'' - an absolute and individual obligation" -- poverty notwithstanding. Among other sources, they cite as evidence this Qur'anic verse:

*"And marry off the single among you and among the righteous of your male and female slaves.  If they are poor then Allah will supply their needs from His generosity. And Allah is expansive, knowing.  (22) And let those who do not find marriage hold back until Allah grants them of His generosity."
