To what extent does God accept the repentance of a person who used to masturbate out of ignorance of its prohibition, and suffers from an inability to control their private parts, despite performing Hajj and resolving to repent? And will God expiate their sins and overlook their misdeeds?
Your intense love for Allah is a sign that you have tasted the sweetness of faith in your heart. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are three qualities, whoever has them will taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything else; that he loves a person and does not love him except for the sake of Allah; and that he hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into the Fire."
The company of evil people is a cause for a person's downfall, and they will be separated on the Day of Judgment, as Allah Almighty says: "Close friends on that Day will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous."
Masturbation is forbidden, and you must offer sincere repentance for it and for all sins, and seek help from Allah, for He is the best helper.
A righteous Hajj erases the sins that preceded it, just as sincere repentance does, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Amr ibn al-'As: "Did you not know that Islam demolishes what came before it?! And that emigration (Hijrah) demolishes what came before it?! And that Hajj demolishes what came before it?!"
