Avoiding marriage due to not fearing committing sins
Question
If a person once used to commit some sexual sins but then he/she repented and now he/she does not fear to commit those sins again, will marriage be still obligatory for him/her? If he/she does not get married ever, will he/she be sinning?
Answer
To say that you do not have the fear falling into the wrong is incorrect.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
