How can I distance my father from watching pornographic films that contain naked women, especially since he becomes angry when I try to advise him, and how can I convey this to him in a respectful way as a daughter to her father, knowing that I fear for him from torment and from the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "The eye commits adultery"?

It is possible to deter the father from watching pornographic films by continuously advising him with politeness and reverence, while being careful not to anger him. Guidance is in the hands of Allah, so one must turn to Him with supplication. Persistent disapproval, reproach, and warning against this act may affect him or make him feel ashamed, especially if more family members participate. It is also possible to fill his free time with permissible activities or find an alternative in beneficial and purposeful films.
