Is the therapeutic approach used with a girl who has been subjected to harassment and developed a phobia of men—an approach based on imagining harassment situations during relaxation—forbidden or permissible?
It is recommended to supplicate frequently, especially with prayers that include asking for well-being, for Allah answers the supplication of the distressed and removes harm. It is also recommended to remember Allah frequently, for by it hearts find tranquility, and to maintain the morning and evening adhkar (remembrances) and ruqya shari'yya (Islamic exorcism/incantation). Sexual fantasies are not permissible, and it is not allowed to use what is haram (forbidden) as a means of treatment. It is advised to consult trusted psychiatrists or the psychological counseling section of the website. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the difference between mani (seminal fluid) and madhi (pre-seminal fluid).
