Pills to suppress sexual desire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 18891 )
Q3: I am a young man, 27 years old, and I am committed to my religion, praise be to Allah. Is it permissible for me to use pills to suppress sexual desire, knowing that I am poor, praise be to Allah?
A3: It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Young man, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it keeps you from looking at strange women and preserves you from immorality; but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting, for it is a means of suppressing sexual desire.يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج، فإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج، ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فإنه له وجاء
Mishkat al-Masabih 3080
It is agreed upon that it is authentic. It is prescribed for a young man who is unable to marry to fast frequently, for it reduces the intensity of desire. He should also avoid the causes that arouse it. As for
using pills to suppress sexual desire, it is not permissible; because they have harms and bad consequences. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
