He fell into the trap of visiting chat sites and talking to girls, but has now repented

Question: 49687

I fell into the trap of visiting a website on the Net to which I subscribed by paying money. The site initially appeared to be good but most of those who visited it were just playing. But I started to correspond with more than one hundred girls, and I spoke with them on the mobile, and I spoke to them in romantic terms and I met some of them. Now I have repented to Allaah and I hope that you can advise the owner of this site, because it has now become a means of evil and a means of approaching the opposite sex. May Allaah reward you with good.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

We praise Allaah for having enabled you to repent, and we ask
Allaah to make you steadfast in adhering to the truth and the right path.
May He guide young Muslim men and women to guard their religious commitment
and their honour.

You should note that it is not permissible for men to start
such websites or to visit them. The owner of this site is one of those who
are addressed by the warning in the verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, those who like
that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among
those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the
Hereafter”

[al-Noor 24:19]

Indeed he is more deserving of this warning, because the
warning in this verse was addressed to those who like immorality to be
propagated, so how about one who actually works to make that happen and
become widespread?

This is the way that is known to end in what we see and hear
and read about those who use these means to approach the opposite sex. How
many men have lost their religious commitment and how many women have lost
their honour? Some of them have found no other way but suicide to escape
from the dark tunnel that they got into because of corresponding and
speaking to non-mahrams.

We have already discussed the ruling on corresponding and
speaking to non-mahrams. Please see the answers to questions no.
