The answer

The questioner must maintain his devotion to God, because Satan will seek to tempt him. He must also cut off forbidden relationships with foreign women to close the doors of temptation. To treat sexual desire for someone who cannot marry, it is recommended to fast because it weakens desire, and to persevere in the remembrance of God and prayer, for they forbid indecency and evil.
