Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This young man says: May Allah bless me, and all praise and thanks belong to Allah, for repentance. But when I am alone, I am often overcome, and my self prevails over me, so I fall into what Allah has forbidden, especially in looking at what is forbidden. What is your advice to me?
Answer:
Keep away from the places where you look at what is forbidden. If you look at what is forbidden on a screen or on the internet, keep it away from you, do not be present with it, and remove it from your house. Cut off the cause that leads you to what is forbidden. Or, if you go to the markets and follow women with your gaze, turn to Allah and do not go. Keep away from the places of what is forbidden and forbidden looking, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will help you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
