Fataawa Noor ‘alad-Darb

The Prophet ﷺ:

«O young men! Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity. And whoever cannot (afford to get married) should fast, for it is a means to suppressing the sexual desire», transmitted al-Bukhaaree and Muslim

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

And I advise the youth to hasten in getting married, particularly in this day and age in which the causes of fitnah and temptations have increased.
