Summary of Sunni concepts
Libido
Islam views the sexual instinct as it views all other instincts that God created in the human soul
This instinct was created to work, not to be suppressed or disrupted
This is reprehensible, as God Almighty said
And monasticism they invented, we did not prescribe it to them
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
By God, I am the most God-fearing and most God-fearing of you
But I fast, break my fast, pray, sleep, and marry women
Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Islam does not forbid this instinct nor suppress it
But it's just him
He refines it and uses it for what it was made for
It is marriage and reproduction
He makes them feelings of affection and mercy
Not just a bestial whim like the whim of a raging animal
Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may find tranquility in them
And He placed between you affection and mercy
Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect
He does not appreciate sex
But he does not let him go
To enslave man with lust
Rather, it is controlled by legislation that directs it to its correct destination
Adultery is forbidden
And he commands regardless of sight
To block the pretext and preserve his relief
Tell the believers to lower their gazes and guard their private parts
That is better for them
God is aware of what they do
And tell the believing women to be angry with their eyes and to guard their private parts
They do not display their adornment except what is apparent
And let them strike their palms over their pockets
He advises those who cannot afford marriage to fast
To refine and control himself
Until he is able to spend it in a halal destination
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
O young people!
Whoever of you can afford it, let him get married
It lowers the gaze and improves the relief
Whoever is unable must fast
For it came to him
Agreed
