QUESTION:
I am constantly thinking about sex and women the whole day, and no matter which Ibaadah I engage in, I cannot get rid of these thoughts. Currently, I cannot get married due to various issues that need to be solved. The majority of these issues can only be solved by the Will of Allah Ta’ala, so there is nothing I can do. I am helpless, sexually frustrated, and struggle daily. Mufti, please advice what I should do?
ANSWER:
You should fast continuously without any breaks in between. This will assist in breaking one’s desires. Secondly, remain in the company of the pious and engage in Zikrullah under their guidance. Lastly, perform 2 Rakaats of Salaah daily before retiring to bed and beg Allah Ta’ala to remove you from these sins. By doing so, this matter will be resolved by the Fadhl of Allah Ta’ala Insha’Allah.
ALLAH TALA’LA ALONE KNOWS BEST!
