Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he has been afflicted with looking at forbidden images, images of forbidden women, on the mobile phone and elsewhere. He asks: What is the Shari'ah cure for this matter?
Answer:
He should leave it; he should leave the mobile phone and not look at it. The mobile phone is for calls only; it is not to be used for bad purposes, but only for calls. It has now become a means of great evil, the mobile phone, except for whom Allah has mercy. Yes.
