Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and make your knowledge beneficial. The listener is Umm Ahmad from Jeddah. She has a number of questions, and in the first one she says: This question is for a friend of mine who does not know how to write, and she hopes for a clear answer to it. She mentions that her husband likes to watch some films on European channels, and when she discusses it with him and tells him that his action is forbidden, he says that he is not affected by them at all, and that he only watches them out of curiosity. At first, she would leave him alone to watch them, but he has become forcing her, and it has affected her until she has come to watch those films with him. What is the ruling? May Allah reward you. And what should she do in this situation?

Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible to watch obscene films or low-quality films, because that affects morals, and because it is watching what is wrong and approving of it. So it is not permissible to watch obscene films or low-quality films. Rather, it is obligatory for the Muslim to stay away from them, to be cautious of them, and not to let them enter his home. Yes.
