The answer

Movies and TV series that contain religiously forbidden elements must be boycotted, and the period of youth should be utilized in what pleases Allah and benefits one in matters of religion and worldly life. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Take advantage of five things before five others: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death." A Muslim will be questioned on the Day of Judgment about their lifespan, knowledge, wealth, and body, as stated in the : "The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about four things: about his life and how he spent it, about his knowledge and what he did with it, about his wealth - how he acquired it and where he spent it, and about his body - how he used it." Righteousness encompasses all actions and in all circumstances. A Muslim should not commit sins thinking that they will not affect their heart and behavior, because a Muslim is commanded to surrender completely to Allah, outwardly and inwardly.
