Question

If someone is addicted to pornograpy and masturbation, how can he get rid of the addiction? What are the consquences?

Answer

Before sleeping reflect over Qiyaamat, and the account that one will have to render and all the other matters of the hereafter. Perform 4 rakaat namaaz and beg Allah's forgiveness. Also make an effort to get married as soon as possible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
