The answer

"Mere thoughts and abstract imaginations do not hold a person accountable, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven my nation for what their souls whisper or تحدث to them, as long as they do not act upon it or speak of it.' However, a wise person should occupy themselves with what benefits them, such as seeking forgiveness, remembrance of Allah, and reciting the Qur'an, because wasting time on what is not beneficial is a loss. Allah and the Prophet have both emphasized the importance of time."
