Is there a faith-based and practical solution to the secret habit, given that I am afflicted by it and it troubles me during the month of Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : He says:The questioner : Is there a faith-based and practical solution to the secret habit, given that I am afflicted by it and it troubles me during the month of Ramadan?

The Shaykh : I ask Allah for his well-being. As for the faith-based solution, it is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in describing the believers:

⁽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, then those are the transgressors -

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلاَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنْ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الْعَادُونَ

[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-7]

. The secret habit, which is masturbation, is beyond that, beyond wives and beyond female slaves, and concubines

Then it is those who are the transgressors.

فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الْعَادُونَ

. So Allah described that as transgression. And if a person knows that this is transgression, he will not do it. As for the physical deterrent, let him consult doctors until it becomes clear to him that it is among the most harmful things for the body. Even if a person finds comfort in it, it is a slight comfort followed by great harm. And some people have told me: he was afflicted with this, so he was afflicted with Satanic whispers, may Allah protect us, and psychological distress. And this is not far-fetched, because Allah the Exalted is Wise and He made this semen have a specific place:

Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish

نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ

[Al-Baqarah 2:223]

. And the person endures it, and endures, and endures. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a successful remedy, which is fasting. He 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

. Yes.
