Does viewing pornographic images of girls, even if they are cartoons, constitute a sin, and what is the expiation for this sin? Is this action considered hypocrisy that contradicts the appearance of righteousness? And do these images arouse girls and are they considered perversion?

Looking at pornographic images is impermissible due to what it leads to: unleashing one's gaze upon the forbidden and falling into satanic thoughts. Immediate repentance from this sin is obligatory, by abandoning it, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. The repentant person must conceal their sin with God's concealment and not inform anyone about it, for one who publicizes their sin will not be forgiven. Beware of those who observe people and publicize their piety, while violating God's sanctities when they are alone.
