Advice to the Youth in the Time of Trials
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man from Egypt, residing in Saudi Arabia, says in his question: What is the ruling on masturbation by hand for one who is unable to marry due to financial inability? And what is your advice to me and those like me in this time when the means of trials have multiplied and desires have become mixed with doubtful matters? May Allah benefit you and your knowledge.
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided the youth and said: “O group of young people, whoever among you is able to afford the costs of marriage, let him marry. ‘Al-ba’ah’ means the costs of marriage. And whoever is not able, let him fast, for it is a restraint for him.” So fasting suppresses the desire that arises in a person, so he fasts. Yes.
