Is the questioner considered an adulterer after his repentance and remorse for the indecent acts he committed? And how can he prevent himself from falling into indecency if a woman invites him to it, or if he is alone with the maid? Is it true that he will not be able to stand firm against the invitation of a famous and beautiful actress, no matter how strong his faith? And is it permissible for him to travel to Western countries to test the strength of his repentance and his steadfastness against temptations?

You have committed an ugly crime and a heinous sin. You must offer sincere repentance and remorse for what has transpired from you, and stay away from exposing yourself to temptations. It is not permissible for you to be in seclusion with the maid or any other non-mahram women, as leniency in these rulings leads to the forbidden. Repent to Allah from these major sins and their pretexts, adhere to obedience to Allah, and frequently remember Him and supplicate to Him for steadfastness. You are not sinful for intrusive thoughts (waswas), and we advise you to choose righteous companionship that will help you obey Allah.
