I am struggling with an addiction to inappropriate content and masturbation. I sincerely repent to Allah many times and truly want to stop. However, I keep falling back into this habit.
In this struggle, I have also taken oaths (qasam) multiple times that I would not return to this behavior, but I ended up breaking those oaths and then repenting again. This has happened repeatedly, and I feel very guilty and worried.
At the moment, I am a student and my family is not aware of my situation. Because of this, I am not able to fulfill kaffarah by feeding people, and it is also difficult for me to fast consistently without raising questions at home.
Could you please guide me on how kaffarah applies in my case? Do I need to give kaffarah for each oath I broke, and what should I do if I am currently unable to fulfill it? Also, what is the correct way to make sincere repentance and overcome this habit?
