As a 16-year-old Muslim with a foot fetish, will Allah forgive me for masturbating alone?

Assalaamualikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.

Feeling remorse over one’s evil deeds is a good sign. Turn to Allaah and seek His forgiveness. Allaah waits for His bondsmen to turn to Him in repentence. If you regret the wrong you have been doing and sincerely want to abandon this sin, why would Allaah not forgive?

Allaah Most Hgh says in the Noble Qur’aan:
Verily your Rabb is certainly Most Forgiving and Most Merciful towards those who commit evil out of ignorance (ignorant of the true consequences of the sin) and then repent (sincerely) afterwards and make amends (for their wrong) (an-Nahl, 119)

The condition is ofcourse, that you immediately stop doing the wrong and make a firm intention never to do it again. In order to keep your desires in control you should make it a habit to fast often.

The Messenger (sallallaahu allayhi wa sallam) once addressed the youth of the sahaaba thus:
“O assembly of youth. Whoever among you possess the means to get married, then he should do so. For indeed it is more (helpful) in lowering the gaze and safeguarding the chastity. As for he who is unable (to get married), then he should hold on to fasting for indeed it will serve as a shield for him (against his carnal desires). (Agreed Upon)

And Allaah knows best.

Wa Billaahit-tawfeeq.

Wassalaam.
