Will a person be accountable for evil thoughts?

Question

Will a person be accountable for evil thoughts?

Answer

If a person intentionally introduces an evil thought, then he/she is accountable for that sin even if he/she does not commit the act, hence taubah is necessary. However, if it is a shaitaani waswasah, then it will not be sinful.
