Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is recommended to continue avoiding the mentioned forbidden acts and to be diligent in sincere repentance from them. It is also advised to monitor thoughts and ideas, as they are the foundation for blocking the door to disobedience, as Ibn al-Qayyim said. It is recommended to occupy oneself with the remembrance of Allah and to hasten to marry if you are not already married, while supplicating to Allah to ward off evil and indecency.
