Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man afflicted with the secret habit, and I have not been able to get rid of it. Sometimes I repent, and sometimes I return to it. I have been in this state for years. What is your advice to me, how can I get rid of it, and is the full ritual bath obligatory for me if I do it?

Answer:
Yes, this is an ugly habit, and it is possible to get rid of it. Not as you mentioned, it is possible to get rid of it by fearing Allah, leaving it, and staying away from it. But if you indulge in it, it will increase over you, and Satan will make it attractive to you. So you must have sincere repentance and stay away from it. One of the conditions of repentance is abandoning the sin. So abandon this bad habit, and seek help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the full ritual bath, if you experience the emission of semen, the full ritual bath is obligatory for you, along with the sin and the prohibition. Yes.
