The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what are the most important factors that help a person guard his gaze and his private parts, other than lowering the gaze, which you mentioned, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
Keeping away from places of temptation. One does not go to women’s markets or exhibitions where there are women in revealing clothing. He does not look at the satellite channels that display women in revealing clothing and adorned. He keeps away from the causes that involve the display of these trials and stays away from them; he does not go to them and does not look at them. Yes.
The questioner:
We say, Honorable.
The Shaykh:
One keeps away from the company of wicked, talkative people. Yes.
