The Ruling on the Secret Habit When One Is Unable to Marry

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, in the same context, a questioner from Yemen says: If a person is overcome by his desire and strives to restrain himself from the secret habit, but he returns to it while knowing that it is forbidden, does he thereby transgress the limits of Allah?

Answer:
Yes, this is an act that is not permissible. The view of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the most guided, as we mentioned in the hadith
Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraintمن استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فالصوم له
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam)
. The meaning is that fasting cuts off desire or reduces it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
