What is your advice and guidance to a young man who has been exposed online after a video of him in an indecent situation was broadcast, and how should he deal with society to avoid consequences such as suicide?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah tests His servants with good and evil, and after hardship comes ease, and after difficulty comes relief.

Firstly: We advise him to be patient, for in it is the good of this world and the hereafter.

Secondly: If he commits a sin, he must repent sincerely and be careful not to return to that sin.

Thirdly: Increase in supplication, for Allah answers the prayer of the distressed and removes harm.

Fourthly: Consider leaving the country that constricts him to move to another country, and to acquire righteous companions.

Fifthly: He can use evasive language, such as denying its occurrence and mentioning the possibility of tampering with voices and images.

Sixthly: A believer does not contemplate suicide, because it is not a remedy but a disease that transports its perpetrator to greater misery.
