Pornography Addiction
Question
Assalamo Allaikum.
I feel very ashamed of myself. I have a habit of watching porn. I promised to Allah several times after my prayers that i will not watch this stuff, and i also repent for this sin, but after few months i break my promise. Plzz tell me a way to stop this haram habit.
And some more questions.
Do i have to donate some money after making such a promise or after breaking the promise?
Please clarify that thing and at which age shud i be to pay this money?
I cant remember the no. of promises i made so plzz help me with that and clarify everything in detail.
My Muslim Fellow,
I seek to ask all these questions to get to the right path and avoid the disobedience of Allah. InshAllah i hope that u will clarify everything.
