Does God forgive a person who has seen pictures of naked men and women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah forgives a person who has seen images of naked men and women if they repent sincerely, fulfilling the conditions of repentance: remorse, abstaining from the sin, and resolving not to return to it. Allah is the Oft-Forgiving, the Acceptor of Repentance, and He has opened the door of repentance to everyone. No one who has disobeyed Him and then repented to Him should despair of His mercy. It is advisable to maintain repentance by frequenting mosques, associating with the righteous, observing regular remembrances (adhkar), and supplicating to Allah for steadfastness.
