The answer

The divorce pronounced by a husband against his wife if he watches pornographic films takes effect, according to the majority of scholars, if what he conditioned the divorce upon actually occurs in the manner he intended. However, if the viewing occurs unintentionally, such as seeing an image without intending to, the divorce does not take effect. The husband must beware of watching pornographic films because they are forbidden and a widespread evil. He should also be a role model for his family in goodness.
