Does divorce occur if the husband engages in masturbation without viewing pornographic websites or films, given that the wife's suspension of divorce was contingent upon the viewing of those websites and films and the occurrence of masturbation together?

If you have conditioned your wife's divorce on watching pornographic films, then do not break your oath by masturbating when speaking with your wife, knowing that masturbation by hand or similar means is impermissible. It is advisable to turn away from the whispers of divorce, because yielding to them leads to evil and tribulation, and turning away from them is the best remedy.
