What is the ruling on a wife continuing to live with her husband who constantly watches pornographic films and images, and should she continue to advise and confront him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Looking at obscene pictures is forbidden in Islam, and you must strive to prevent your husband from doing so by all means, not through direct confrontation, but by informing him of the ruling on this and the danger of disobedience in a wise manner, while reminding him of the importance of being mindful of Allah and having shame before Him. You can also change the routine of your marital life by organizing recreational sessions away from television and the internet, and encouraging him to utilize these technologies for beneficial purposes, such as learning the Quran and Islamic rulings, or researching useful matters in raising children."
