Marriage and Fasting as Protection of Chastity
يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ
"O young people, whoever among you can marry should marry, and whoever cannot should fast, for fasting helps him control his desires."
Sahih al-Bukhari: 5066

كُتِبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ نَصِيبُهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا مُدْرِكٌ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَزِنَا الْعَيْنَيْنِ النَّظَرُ
"The share of adultery for the son of Adam has been decreed, and he will inevitably encounter it. The adultery of the eyes is the look."
Sahih al-Bukhari: 6243
