Fasting if one is unable to get married
Question
I am facing a problem with my testicles they are hurting due to not having a sexual intercourse. What would be a solution to that since the optimal solution would be to mastrubate (and it's haraam). I am not married because I have not enough resources for that.
Answer
The solution will be fasting. You may fast every alternate day.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
