What should a 58-year-old man do who is attracted to a homosexual film and wishes to engage in such an act, even though his faith and Islam deter him, but Satan makes it appealing to him?
The questioner must repent to Allah for looking at forbidden things, especially since the commission of indecency by an elderly person is uglier, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are three whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He look at them, nor will He purify them, and for them there will be a painful torment: an old man who commits adultery, a lying king, and a proud pauper."
One must also lower their gaze, as it is the basis for falling into immoral acts. They should occupy themselves with good deeds, such as reading the Qur'an, remembering Allah, attending lectures by scholars, and accompanying righteous people, knowing that Allah will question His servant about his life, body, knowledge, and wealth on the Day of Resurrection. What Allah has made lawful in marriage is sufficient to keep one from what is forbidden. One should persist in supplication and seek refuge from trials.
