What is the Sharīʿah ruling concerning a husband discovering male sexual enhancement tools and pornography in his wife's closet, and what is the correct action to take towards her, taking into consideration the repercussions of his long absence, a surgical operation that affected the marital relationship, and the husband's fear of confronting her due to spying and his concern for her feelings and their daughter's future?

The husband must repent from spying on his wife, for it is forbidden. If the husband discovers something illicit, such as pornographic films, he must destroy them. The reason for the wife resorting to masturbation is the husband's prolonged absence and his failure to satisfy her sexual desire. The husband must cohabit with his wife with kindness and suffice her in this regard, as this is one of her most emphasized rights. To resolve marital problems, the husband must strive to fulfill his wife's desires, treat the causes of bleeding, keep the wife occupied with what benefits her in her religion and worldly life, avoid everything that arouses desires, while supplicating and benefiting from educational books and tapes without informing the wife that the husband knows what she is doing, in order to preserve her feelings.
