Answer

(Fatwa: 2142/1969=D/1429)

Yes, it is a major sin; it is strictly prohibited in Islam. You should strive to guard your eyes and heart from bad views and bad thoughts. You should lower your eyes immediately if you happen to see. You should keep yourself busy in other work when bad imaginations come to your mind in idle time.

Why can not you marry? If you are feeling weakness, then you should consult any expert hakim.
