Is marriage obligatory for one who commits the secret habit?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a person commits the secret habit, is marriage obligatory for him, like the one who fears for himself regarding unlawful sexual intercourse?

Answer:
This falls under His saying:
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those areفَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:7]
The one who commits the secret habit falls under this verse and is among those who are "al-'adiyyin" (those who seek beyond what is permitted), because Allah has not permitted enjoyment except with a wife or a slave woman, and the secret habit is neither a wife nor a slave woman, so it is forbidden. Yes.
