ANSWER:

This is permissible.

Whenever you refrain from doing something that is not allowed for the sake of Allah, Allah will reward you with sweetness in your heart and reward in paradise. 

I want to leave watching YouTube videos. Is it okay that I think if I don’t do this Allah give me more happiness in the world and hereafter. He will make my life and Akhirah easier.Or it is not good that I am asking him because I am leaving a sin. Or A thing that not permissible, should be leaved just for the sake of Allah that He doesn’t like it then we shouldn’t do it.

If someone want to seek guidance about a sin they have done, so only for the purpose of guidance are they allowed to expose their sin to someone?

We have days in the year which we can use if we are sick. Sometimes I have an appointment/event & I use it to call in sick. Is this ok?I’m salaried per 2 weeks so would the money be lawful even if I call for 1or2 day but the act itself haram bc I’m not really sick? Sometimes it’s the only way to get it off. Sometimes I go on a day I’m feeling sick to save that day for another time.Is that ok?
