I watch images of women, then I repent, then I return to it, and I fear despair and that my deeds will be rendered as scattered dust. What is your advice?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I watch images of women via the internet, then I repent. He says: I watch images of women via the internet, then I repent, then I return, then I repent, and so on. I fear for myself from despair and hopelessness, and I fear that I will fall under the warning in the hadith, because it mentions that people will come with good deeds like mountains, and Allah will say to them: "Be scattered dust." He says: What is your advice to me, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
What Allah says to them, "Be scattered dust," is only if their deeds are the deeds of a disbeliever. As for the deeds of a believer, Allah does not say to them, "Be scattered dust." However, the oppressed may take from his good deeds to exact their rights from him, and the oppressed may take his good deeds. But as for Allah invalidating them, no; the deeds of a believer are not invalidated. As for this internet that occupied you and tempted you, keep it away from you; keep it away from you and your home so that you may be at peace, and praise be to Allah. Keep the means of evil away from you. Yes.
