The answer

The absence of a divine methodology leads to moral problems. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded separation between children in their sleeping places at the age of ten to prevent attraction between the sexes. The Quran commanded children to seek permission before entering private rooms to avoid seeing anything that might arouse desires. Guardians must raise their children according to Islamic manners and keep corrupting influences away from the home. To overcome the problem of incestuous assault, the following is advised: counsel the perpetrators on the gravity of their act, separate them, ensure they are married if possible, and encourage them to fast, lower their gaze, and avoid stimulants.
