What is the ruling on someone who has memorized the Qur’an but suffers from the problem of being infatuated with effeminate boys and sodomy, and cannot get married due to poverty, so what is the way to get rid of this problem?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Attachment to effeminate boys and committing indecencies are among the greatest sins and the vilest of morals. Your statement, "I tried but I return," is from the whisperings of Satan, and you must seek refuge in Allah from him. Beware of Satan's whisperings and weakness of resolve. Know that the matter requires a little resolve. You must turn to Allah in supplication to remove what afflicts you, associate with the righteous, and distance yourself from environments that encourage indecency. If you are able to marry, then do so; otherwise, you must fast. Remember your standing before Allah the Almighty.
