Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a young man who loves to be upright, but I have been afflicted with a sin that I cannot break free from. It is the secret habit and looking at forbidden clips. He asks: What is your advice for me? I have become desperate regarding this sin and repenting from it, because I sin, then I repent, then I sin again, and so on?
Answer:
Yes, if you sin, repeat the repentance. Every time you sin, repeat the repentance, and do not despair of the acceptance of the repentance. Yes.
