Guidance for the young man who fears trials and desires
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is one of the young men, may Allah keep you safe, who sent this long message, but its gist is that he is a university student and fears for himself from trials and desires. So what is your guidance?
Answer:
Our guidance is that he should hasten to marry if he is able. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O young men,Sunan an-Nasa'i 2242Sahih (Darussalam).” So whoever among you cannot afford it, let him fast, for it is a restraint for him. He should avoid the trials that lead him into the forbidden. He should lower his gaze. [It is said], “Tell the believers to lower their gazes and guard their private parts.” He should lower his gaze, avoid the places of trial, so he does not go to them or frequent them, and he should preserve his chastity. [An-Nur 24:33] Yes.

Answer:
Our guidance is that he should hasten to marry if he is able. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O young men,
whoever among you can afford to get married let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity.
من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج؛ فإنه أغض للبصر، وأحصن للفرجBut let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty.
وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّىٰ يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِThe presenter:
