Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once, during our youth, we were with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Troubled by (the intensity of desire), we requested the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم that we wished to castrate ourselves. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Do not do so," and then he permitted us to marry a woman for a specified period in exchange for a garment. Then Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you.
