The answer

It is recommended to supplicate for deliverance from temptation (fitna), and it is legislated to supplicate against those who cause it, based on the general : "Curse them, for they are cursed." Marriage to a Muslim woman is the best way to ward off temptation, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O young people, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it helps him lower his gaze and guard his chastity. And whoever cannot afford to marry, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." A non-Muslim woman is not suitable for building a Muslim household and raising Muslim children, for Allah Almighty says: "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you..." We advise the following: Maintaining prayers, remembering Allah, supplication, reflecting on the story of Yusuf (Joseph), peace be upon him, sincerity, lowering the gaze, and good companionship.
