The answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim to watch pornographic films, based on the words of Allah Almighty: "Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts" (An-Nur: 30). Watching them may lead to something greater. One must cease this act and perform sincere repentance, along with the necessity of complete purification. What happened is not masturbation, as masturbation is the deliberate summoning of semen, and what was emitted without summoning is not considered such. However, the sin and the obligation of performing for (major ritual impurity) have been incurred.
