Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My feet have not led me to anything forbidden, but Satan often misleads me, and I fall into forbidden looking. What is your advice to me? May Allah grant you success.

Answer:
Act on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private partsقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ
[An-Nur 24:30]
Lower your gaze, my brother. Lower your gaze. If you have enticing sights of women, or enticing images, or enticing scenes, lower your gaze from them. Yes.
