The Devils Deception by Imam Ibn AL-Jawzi

stopped."

relations, so they resorted to sin. They went after women and
imersed themselves into things from which they wanted to
escape in the first place.
3. Third· Those who deviated to accompanying young boys. Some
people lost hope in having relations with women, so they resorted
to accompanying beardless boys.
There are other $iifts who get married but claim that they were not
having sexual relations out of desire (shahwa). It is impossible for
them not to have any sexual desires (shahwa). By getting married,
they have followed the Sunnah.
Others got themselves castrated, and claimed that they did so out
of shyness from Allah. This is great foolishness because Allah has
gave men the advantage over women by having this tool (male private
parts) that is necessary for generating offspring. Castration is a
declaration that it is wrong to have these organs.
Also, castration does not completely eliminate sexual desires
(shahwa), so they did not achieve their goal.
