Advices for someone addicted to pornography
Question
What naseehat can be given to one who is addicted to pornography?
Answer
Daily before going to bed, make wudhu and perform two rakaats of salaat-ut-taubah. Thereafter beg Allah Ta`ala for forgiveness and His special assistance and help. Finally, do muraaqabah (meditate) over death and the life of the grave, how lonely it will be and it will be your good deeds that will be of benefit to you, etc. Over and above this, break the device with which this sin is committed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
