What is the ruling on masturbating while imagining women's feet, and does marriage put an end to these practices?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

You must repent to Allah for the forbidden acts you have committed, such as (forbidden gazing and masturbation). Repentance involves abandoning the sin, regretting having committed it, and resolving not to return to it. If your repentance is sincere, accept it, and know that a repentant person does not deserve punishment in the Afterlife, nor a predestined punishment in this world, because repentance erases what came before it, and "one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." So, a repentant person is not punished, neither in this world nor in the Afterlife, neither by religious law nor by divine decree. Strive to rid yourself of psychological deviation and abnormality concerning the matter of associating with women. There is no objection to consulting a psychiatrist.
