Looking at pornographic films and masturbation are forbidden. Whoever prays while in a state of (major ritual impurity) has committed a grave sin. He must repent and seek forgiveness, and repeat the obligatory prayers after purifying himself, because ritual purity is a condition for the validity of prayer. Allah Almighty says: "And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah does not accept a prayer without purification." It is not permissible to abandon purification under the pretext of embarrassment from people.
