Is it permissible to lie with a boy in a case of necessity and the absence of a woman, such as when traveling?

It is absolutely impermissible to have intercourse with a boy, and it is impermissible to commit zina (fornication/adultery) with a woman without a legal contract. Scholars have differed on the sin of one who is forced into zina, because it is not actualized except by the erection of the penis, which indicates desire. The treatment for shabq (excessive sexual urge) is fasting to curb the intensity of desire, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And whoever is not able, then upon him is fasting, for it is a wijaa’ (curb/suppressant) for him." Some scholars hold the view that masturbation is permissible in this case as an act of committing the lesser of two harms to relieve shabq.
