Treatment of Addiction to Viewing Forbidden Websites and the Secret Habit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is one of the young students asking, and this is a question that has been asked repeatedly. He says: I am a student at such-and-such college. He says: I have been committed to the religion for four years, but I am addicted to viewing websites and so on. And every time I repent, I cry, and I turn back to Allah the Exalted, but soon I return to the sin, viewing websites, and the secret habit. So what is the solution, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
Praise be to Allah that you have a sense of the sin and the error, and that you repent every time you repent. This is the obligatory thing: if the sin is repeated, the repentance is repeated. But you must stay away from the places of evil and from its companions. Do not sit with its companions or sit in gatherings where these things are displayed. Stay away from its gatherings and from sitting with its companions. And you must have a sincere intention and resolve to repent, and Allah the Exalted will help you. Yes.
