Why does a wife become jealous when her husband watches pornography and channels that show semi-naked women, dancing, and sexual movements? And why does she object to that even if it leads to a dispute with guests?

The answer

Watching pornographic films is a major abomination and can lead to corruption, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The eyes commit zina through looking, the ears commit zina through listening, the tongue commits zina through speaking, the hand commits zina through striking, the leg commits zina through stepping, and the heart desires and wishes, and the private parts affirm or deny that." The ugliness of the husband's action increases if he has a wife who keeps him chaste, and he should strive to rectify his family and be a good example. A wife's jealousy over her husband due to this is praiseworthy, but it is more important for the jealousy to be for the sake of Allah's sacred limits. Guests should not insist on watching the channel, and you are right in your anger. There should be no compromise when it comes to truth, and we advise you to be patient and pray for your husband's guidance.
