Apa hukum memilih untuk tidak berkahwin seumur hidup?

Membujang kerana membenci sunnah nikah adalah tercela, tetapi tidak berkahwin kerana tiada keinginan, tidak mampu atau keadaan tertentu tidak berdosa. Nabi ﷺ menegur sahabat yang berazam tidak berkahwin demi ibadah, lalu bersabda: aku berkahwin dengan wanita, maka sesiapa yang membenci sunnahku bukan daripada golonganku. Namun ulama Syafi'i menyebut bagi orang yang tiada keinginan dan tidak mampu, lebih baik tidak berkahwin dan menumpukan ibadah. Yang penting, kehormatan diri tetap terpelihara. Masyarakat juga tidak wajar mendesak atau menghina mereka yang belum atau tidak berkahwin kerana sebab yang munasabah.

What is the ruling on choosing never to marry?

Remaining single out of dislike for the sunnah of marriage is blameworthy, but not marrying because of no desire, inability or particular circumstances is not sinful.
The Prophet ﷺ rebuked Companions who resolved never to marry for the sake of worship, saying: I marry women, so whoever turns away from my sunnah is not of me. However, Shafi'i scholars say that for one who has no desire and is unable, it is better not to marry and to devote oneself to worship. What matters is that chastity remains preserved. Society should also not pressure or belittle those who have not married, or do not marry, for reasonable causes.

Perbezaan mazhab. Syafi'i berpendapat bagi yang tidak berhajat, menumpukan ibadah lebih utama; Hanafi dan Hanbali secara umum melihat berkahwin lebih utama daripada membujang untuk ibadah sunat bagi yang mampu.
