Abstract

This study is an attempt to investigate sexual perversion and its subsequent issues. It aims to offer some preventive solutions to this problem on the basis of Islamic teachings. The data were collected using the library research method. Then, verses of the Holy Qur’an and collections of hadith were analyzed, and the findings were studied. They suggested that Islam offers not only individual but also social solutions to sexual perversion. The former covers marrying, controlling girls’ behaviors, giving children some instructions, and teaching them to seek permission when entering. Offering social solutions, Islam orders the governmental entities to facilitate marriage, cut marriage age, and take the tough line with its opponents.
