What is the interpretation of Allah Almighty's saying: "And let those who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek emancipation from among those whom your right hands possess - then make an agreement with them for emancipation if you know there is good in them; and give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution if they desire chastity, seeking the transitory enjoyment of worldly life. And if anyone compels them, then indeed, Allah is, after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful"?
Allah Almighty commands those who cannot find a spouse to abstain from unlawful acts and to pursue the means that aid in this. And for those who are unable to marry, they must fast, for it is a protection for them. Allah has promised those who remain chaste that He will enrich them from His bounty and ease their affairs.
