A Muslim can avoid the Fitnah (temptation) of women by: 1- Faith in Allah; 2- Lowering the gaze, 3- Warding off evil thoughts, 4- Marriage, 5; Fasting, 6- Keeping away from bad company, 7- Keeping away from places of temptation, 8- Not making houses like graves, 9- Trying to make the most of his time in worshipping and obeying Allah, and 10- Remembering the blessings of the Hereafter.

Sexual fantasies are thoughts that occur to most people, especially the youth, but they vary from one person to another with regard to their type, strength and effect. If a person imagines haram things that came to his mind unbidden, there is no blame or sin on him, rather he has to ward them off as much as he can.
