Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
You must abandon masturbation and strive diligently to keep away from it and everything that leads to it. Smoking is not a solution for abandoning it because it is harmful and forbidden. It is preferable to marry, increase voluntary fasting, and occupy your time and energy with what is beneficial.
