Fatwa CenterShe gets aroused during her period
Question
i get aroused around my period, and since i can't pray or fast during it i feel distanced from allah and weak. What do i do to decrease these urges and control myself? p.S. I am single.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
First of all, we advise you to be keen to do every act of worship that is not Islamically prohibited due to being in menses, like the mention of Allaah, seeking Allaah’s Forgiveness, and exalting the mention of the Prophet 
.
On the other hand, you should lower your gaze from looking at what Allaah has forbidden and close the doors of temptation and stay away from all that arises your desires, while seeking Allaah’s Help and looking to strengthen your relationship with Him. You should also keep company with righteous Muslim women and listen to Islamic lectures and seek Islamic knowledge. In addition to this, you should preoccupy your free time with beneficial acts of worship. These things and other similar matters will help you control your desires. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 84232.
Finally, you should endeavor to get married; you should first seek Allaah’s Help in this regard and then the help of your female friends and relatives. It should be noted that it is Islamically permissible for a woman to look for a pious husband provided she abides by the Islamic etiquette while doing so, as we clarified in Fatwa 82471.
Allaah Knows best.
