The answer

Allah has forgiven the self-talk as long as it does not reach the point of resolving to commit a sin, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has pardoned for my Ummah whatever they self-talk about, as long as they do not act upon it or speak of it."

One should combat a fleeting thought before it becomes an idea, and an idea before it becomes an action, and an action before it becomes a habit.

It is forbidden to arouse lust by thinking about a forbidden woman. We advise following legitimate ways to get rid of intense lust.
