· 5 Rabiʻ I 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a husband and wife are watching a movie together and certain scenes the wife is uncomfortable watching due to she feels its haraam for the eyes and is wrong to see, but the husband feels it is her insecurities and feels since it is part of the story and movie it can be watched, please advise.

Answer

Both the husband and wife should make taubah for watching the haraam movies. The sin is further compounded when one feels that there is no problem in it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
