Addicted To Pornography? Islam Provides Solution To It by Lukgaf(m): 2:31pm On Oct 24, 2019
Praise be to Allaah.

It is not permissible to look at pornographic pictures that show the charms of women, either on internet web sites or in newspapers or magazines etc. That is because looking at them is a means of enjoying them and knowing the beauty of the woman in the picture.

This may also be a means that leads to something haraam, so it is also regarded as haraam, because the means come under the same rulings as the ends.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 2424.

Many people take the matter of looking at pictures of non-mahram women lightly, on the grounds that these are just pictures and are not real. But this is a very serious matter, because it inevitably tempts a man to try to look at the woman directly. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts). That is purer for them”

[al-Noor 24:30]

Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 1/268

You can help your friend to keep away from these things by always advising him and making him fear Allaah, and reminding him that Allaah is always watching him and that nothing is hidden from Him. And remind him of the blessings that Allaah has bestowed upon him, such as giving him eyes with which to see things that will benefit him, and He has forbidden him to use them to look at things that He has forbidden. Remind him that Allaah will question him about that, hence Allaah concludes the verse referred to above with the words (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what they do”

[al-Noor 24:30]

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allaah)”

[al-Isra’ 17:36]

If a wise man thinks about it, when he is looking at these haraam pictures, he will realize that there is nothing behind these glances but loss, pain and sorrow, because he cannot really get what he sees in these pictures.

The poet spoke the truth when he said:

“When you give free rein to your eyes, this will cause great pain to your heart.

You will see what you cannot have, and you will feel frustration because you do not have some of what you see.”

So it is clear that there is nothing to be gained from these pictures except the wrath of Allaah, and wasting time and money on things that are not pleasing to Him, and tormenting yourself.

The Muslim has to seek chastity by means of marriage, and try his best to achieve that.

He should also give up bad company who may have a bad effect on him and encourage him to go to these bad web sites.


He should also keep himself busy with things that will benefit him in both religious and worldly terms, such as memorizing the Book of Allaah, attending gatherings of dhikr, and going to useful websites that contain sound knowledge.

As Muslims in this generation, it's only the grace of Allah that is sufficient for us. Fornication has become a norm in the society and people no longer see anything wrong with it.


May Almighty Allah continue to make ibadah easy for us and protect us from what is forbidden in HIS sight. Amin

As a Christian I'm beginning to see Islam as the true Religion

TheExecutioner:
What solution?


Oga, firstly, masturbation is one thing and watching porn is another.

All porn watchers masturbate but not everyone who masturbates watches porn. You can Google more to learn more.

Secondly, True, the scholars of Islam are divided on the ruling of masturbation. In fact, a great Islamic scholar wrote a whole book explaining that one can masturbate if he can't get married so as to avoid fornication. He argued at length in his book and his arguments are interesting. Not because he's supporting masturbation but because of his mastery of Islamic texts and style of debate.

However, what matters most in the end is proof not opinions or debate. If an opinion is in line with the Quran and the Sunnah, we accept it. If it isn't inline with the Quran and the Sunnah, we reject it irrespective of the Calibre of the person who gave that verdict.

As Imam Malik said:

Everyone's opinion is subject to acceptance and rejection except the one on this grave (and he pointed to the grave of Allaah's messenger -صلى الله عليه وسلم-)

That is because Allaah said:

Nor does he(Muhammad -صلى الله عليه وسلم- speak of (his own) desire.

It is only a revelation that is revealed (to him).

Suratun Najm: 3-4

Now back to the issue of masturbation.

Allaah praised the believers thus:

And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)

Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame;

Since there isn't war captives anymore, every form of sexual gratification outside wedlock is blameworthy and a form of transgression. And that obviously includes masturbation.

This is the opinion of Imam Shaafi'ee and majority of Islamic scholars, past and present.

And Allaah alone knows best.

With your likes one can clearly come to conclusion that education and intelligence are not in anyway related.Truly it is normal for someone to be able to read and write but critical thinking is entirely different.Since when have you start generalising the actions or character of some region to conclude all the pple practicing Islam are terrorist,I imploy you to please make use of your eductional status and exposure to have a deep thinking.I put it to you haven't you come across an easy going Muslim?. Haven't you seen a violent Christian? Your conscience is your ultimate judge before you allow religious sentiment to becloud your sense of judgement.

If there aren't any female sex slaves anymore, then what is happening with the Chibok girls, the hundreds of young Hausa Christian Girls being abducted from their schools all over the North, the thousands ISIS sex slaves, the Muslim rape gangs in Europe who deliberately target non Muslim females etc etc?

Secondly, the fact that Muhamad allowed his Companions to practice masturbation is of itself an encouragement for any Muslim who is addicted to porn and masturbation to continue with his ways.

In answer to your question, Islam values human life and forbid bombing or "useless killing" like u wrote.
If what you wrote is true, then you should have long be dead because there will be at least 1000 Muslims in your state, and that's a good number needed to level a state down.

Also! Read up about the Christian crusades, the invasion of middle East by crusaders.

You should ask them. I'm not their member so I don't know their justification for what they're doing.

I've told you what is in the Qur'an.

Secondly, the fact that Muhamad allowed his Companions to practice masturbation is of itself an encouragement for any Muslim who is addicted to porn and masturbation to continue with his ways.



Firstly, that report is unverified.

Secondly, it doesn't include porn. You're the one who's including it. And I've explained to you that they're different. If you choose to be adamant then I have no power to twist your heart.
