How can I deal with the temptations present in my society, which has strayed from religion, given that I am a single young man currently unable to marry, and I do not see masturbation as a solution?

The answer

For those unable to marry, they should be patient and fast frequently, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. And whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." This should be coupled with occupying oneself with studies and acts of obedience, staying away from places of temptation, and adhering to righteous company. Moving to a less tempting country is also an option if possible.
