What is the solution for someone who wants to marry to escape their surrounding circumstances, but finds no means to do so?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The state of the questioner is as described, and the solution to his problem is what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified: "O company of youth! Whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so, for it is more lowering to the gaze and more safeguarding of the private parts. And whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." So, the questioner should fast, for fasting breaks desire and strengthens patience, and he should stay away from stimulants of desire and temptations.
