The sticking of the thighs together and rubbing one against the other until water comes out is considered unlawful masturbation, just like watching corrupt Western channels. It is recommended to repent to Allah, perform many good deeds, be mindful of Allah's watchful eye, and seek refuge from Satan. One's time should be programmed with activities that occupy the mind and distract from these matters, such as reading the Quran, performing dhikr, studying books of encouragement, discouragement, and biographies, and engaging in sports. One should avoid being alone with oneself and lying in bed before sleep. It is also important to supplicate frequently for a righteous spouse and seek assistance from the medical consultation department.
