Question:
Salaam a laiykum,
I’ve come to ask advice on defeating the desires of my nafs. For a long time I have been struggling against the vice of masturbation but to no avail. It’s become very agitating because while my belief may fight to be strong inshaallah, I always revert to it. So each time afterwards I make ghusl to try to cleanse myself of the state of janub. ‘
What can I do?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
As Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani said, “in this time, not half the religion, but the whole religion is marriage” so if you are not, get married.
