The answer

What you did, such as sending pictures and being in seclusion, and so on, is a temptation from Satan and a reprehensible evil, a pretext for corruption and a means to fornication. Although it is not actual fornication necessitating a حد (prescribed punishment), it is metaphorically called fornication. You have done well by regretting what you did, so make it a sincere repentance, fulfilling the conditions of repentance. Sending pictures is a reprehensible act from which one must repent. If you can convince this young man to delete the pictures, that would be a good thing. We advise you to strive for marriage and search for a righteous man, and to beware of everything that incites lust, and to be keen on the means of righteousness and staying away from the traps of Satan.
