Does viewing explicit pornographic images on the internet affect a Muslim's creed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Addiction to watching pornographic images has a serious impact on the individual and society. It corrupts one's disposition, hardens the heart, weakens faith, and leads to committing immoral acts. This indulgence in sins can blacken the heart and weaken belief, potentially leading to apostasy from the religion. Parents must prevent the viewing of these images by all means, due to their grave consequences for religion and morals.
