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?
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.
