The Ruling on the Secret Habit in Cases of Necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the secret habit if a person is compelled to it?
Answer:
The secret habit is not permissible; it is forbidden because it is enjoyment by means other than what Allah has made lawful.[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-7] That is, other than that, other than the wife and the right of possession. Those are the transgressors. The secret habit falls under this, because it is enjoyment by means other than a wife and other than a right of possession, so it is a form of transgression, and it is not permissible. And there is a cure other than fasting. Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.

(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَWhoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint (wija') for him.
مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ
