What is the ruling on masturbation when there is an urgent need, and on photographing the penis with a mobile phone, whether with lust or without it, or to check for pain in it, and on a man filming intercourse with his wife to enjoy the clip later?

Masturbation is forbidden and is not permissible unless one fears falling into Zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), in which case it becomes permissible as a matter of choosing the lesser of two harms.

Photographing one's private parts for the purpose of viewing them carries the same ruling as looking at them. It is disliked to look at one's own private parts. If the photography is for a genuine, permissible need, then it is allowed. However, looking at them with lust must be avoided if it leads to masturbation.

Photographing one's private parts may lead to other corruptions, such as the spread of the images or the arousal of lust and the practice of masturbation.
