Summary
The answer cites God's command for believing men and women to lower their gaze from what is forbidden. Since the self tends toward evil, it must be restrained through striving against the self (mujahadah). The forms mentioned are keeping company with righteous friends, giving the self no opportunity to sin, and replacing negative things with positive activities such as charity work and attending knowledge classes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nafsu ini dikawal dengan proses mujahadah.
