I am a non muslim but I was wondering if celibacy is allowed in islam, but not the same celbiacy that catholics follow but because one does not enjoy sexual intercorce so they choose not engage it and to never marry

[Enfotanab]

That's fine. If one does not have a need for intercourse, he can choose to marry or choose not to. However, if he marries, he must fulfil the right of his wife over him to give her any children she may desire and even if she desires no children, she has a right to intercourse to satisfy her needs

[SiM7W2zi]

Though celibacy is permissible in Islam, it is looked down upon (highly disliked) because our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married, and so did the rest of the Prophets (peace be upon them).
Every Muslim is supposed to follow Prophetic traditions as closely as possible and marriage is an extremely emphasized prophetic tradition. There are many social and spiritual benefits in Islam for getting married. In fact, getting married is in and of itself an act of worship, because you are following the footsteps of the Prophets (peace be upon them) and the pious predecessors.

If one thinks that he can control his sexual desires then he may choose to practice celibacy, but if he fears that he will fall into sin, then marriage becomes obligatory on him.

Marriage is encouraged in general as it has a social dimension.
However for some marriage is discouraged, for some encouraged. If abstaning from marriage results in some sort of transgression, then marriage becomes obligatory, provided one can fullfeel the rights of marriage. It all depends on individual circumstance.
Few of prophets (SAW) companinons were unmarried.
It is realy up to individual.
Allahualam

[dmitrynts]

Celibacy is definitely discouraged in Islam.
