Question:
How do you see, Your Eminence, the way for young people to avoid falling under the weight of the temptations of this age and to head in the right direction?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah: The best path for young people to follow the correct path in understanding the religion and calling to it is to adhere to the straight methodology by studying and learning the religion, and to focus on the Noble Qur'an and the pure Sunnah. I advise them to keep the company of good people and righteous companions, and to stay close to scholars known for their uprightness so that they may benefit from their knowledge and their character. I also advise them to hasten to marriage and to strive to find a righteous wife; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 It is agreed upon that it is authentic, from the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

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
