The answer

Watching pornographic films is a grave sin that can be expiated by sincere repentance. If one repeatedly swears an oath and then breaks it, a single expiation is due. However, if one swears an oath, breaks it, and then swears another oath and breaks that one too, then two expiations are required. The expiation involves feeding ten needy persons, clothing them, or freeing a slave. If none of these are possible, then one must fast for three days. It is permissible to give the expiation to a poor person or a needy person, or to authorize the mosque administration to distribute it correctly. However, it is not permissible to donate it to the mosque itself.
