Is there a legitimate Islamic solution for a married Muslim man who has fallen in love with a girl and she has asked him to have a sexual relationship before marriage, and he is now experiencing psychological turmoil?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

To avoid falling into adultery, one must immediately distance himself from the woman who invites to it. Remember that lust is fleeting, but its sorrow remains. One must remember death and that it may come while a person is engaged in disobedience to Allah. One should occupy the soul with obedience to Allah, and remember that the soul loves desires, while the wise person sees Paradise as the greatest pleasure. Fasting is also recommended to reduce lust, and focus on the lawful wife.
