What is the recompense for one who views pornographic websites in this world and the Hereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Watching pornographic websites is forbidden by the Qur'an, , and scholarly consensus. It leads to succumbing to satanic thoughts and forbidden enjoyment. Whoever falls into this must repent by abandoning the sin, feeling remorse, and resolving never to return to it. There is no specific worldly punishment for this act, but there is a punishment in the Hereafter unless Allah forgives.
