Watching Forbidden Films and Images, and Advice for the Youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man afflicted with watching deceptive images and bad films through mobile phones or computers asks: What is the ruling on this action? And what is your advice to the youth?
Answer:
This action is forbidden because it is a means to evil, to committing lewd acts, and to forbidden looking. We advise the one who has fallen into it to repent to Allah, for the door of repentance is open. He should hasten to repent to Allah and leave this action. It is not sufficient for him to say, "I seek Allah's forgiveness," and then return to watching what is not permissible. If he says, "I seek Allah's forgiveness," he must leave this bad action, repent to Allah, and abandon it. Yes.
