Is it permissible to watch anime – with the sound muted – if that helps in quitting masturbation?

Masturbation is forbidden, and watching animated films (anime) is permissible as long as it is not accompanied by anything forbidden. There is no objection to watching them as a means to avoid masturbation, while also focusing on occupying one's time with acts of obedience. One should conquer one's desires, for in that there is a pleasure that surpasses all pleasures. Reflect on the consequences of forbidden acts and the bitterness of immediate gratification, and consider the benefits of patience in resisting desires.
