What is the way to repent and achieve chastity from masturbation, watching pornographic websites, and engaging in online sexual chats, given the repeated relapses, feelings of remorse, and a strong desire to stop these acts?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not befitting for a Muslim woman to engage in bad practices, follow pornographic websites, or speak with young men. However, remorse and the attempt to repent and seek forgiveness is a good matter. Sincere repentance is accepted by Allah if its conditions are met: regret, cessation of the sin, and the resolve not to return to it. What prevents its acceptance is the intention to return to the sin. We advise you to cut off your internet connection, seek out righteous female friends, persevere in supplication, return to Allah with your heart and tongue, and seek a husband who will protect your chastity and cover you through lawful means.
