Ibn Qayyim has a great statement.
He said, Be careful of bad thoughts, because
bad thoughts can lead to desires.
If they lead to desires, you have to
deal with them.
If you don't deal with them, they'll lead
to aspirations.
If you don't deal with them, they'll lead
to actions.
And if you don't deal with them, they'll
lead to habits, and then it's hard to
stop.
And one thing about Islamic law, there's a
great axiom, prevention is better than cure.
And then he says, As the saying goes,
the letter A leads to B.
And thinking about the forbidden might eventually lead
one to commit what is forbidden.
However, we know that the Prophet ﷺ said
that, my ummah is forgiven for their thoughts.
So that's why the Sheikh is a little
cautious.
He's not going hard on the person.
He said, Be careful, look after yourself, be
mindful.
He said, It's better.
He didn't say it's faruq.
It's better for a person to avoid this
as much as possible.
A person who constantly occupies their mind with
such things is only tormenting themselves.
And it could potentially have some dangerous effects
on people.
