The answer

Islamic law does not specify a particular period for a divorced man to remain without a wife, and the matter varies according to people's circumstances and environments. Islamic law has guided towards promptly marrying for those who are able, and indeed, it is obligatory for one who fears falling into indecency and is capable of its costs. The remedy for curbing desire for one who is unable to marry is fasting, in addition to occupying one's time with what is beneficial, accompanying the righteous, and avoiding the wicked.
