Do you still feel any desire towards women? When women were mentioned, Ibn Mas"ood said: Come closer, ‘Alqamah. I was a young man (at that time). "Uthman (رضي الله عنه) said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to some young men of the Muhajireen and said: “Whoever among you has the means to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, whoever cannot (do that), then fasting is a shield for him."
