Fadlallah and Pornography

In this article we will see the perversion of Fadlallah where he allow pornography and respond to his perversion.

Let's see what Fadlallah said.

Q: Is it permissible for a frigid wife or husband to watch pornographic scenes?

A: I don’t think it has been scientifically proven that watching pornographic films is a reliable treatment for frigidity; on the contrary, it often has negative results. Also, morally speaking, this weakens moral immunity, and attaches people, even couples, to a mood of dissolution which makes man feel alienated from his wife when she fails to imitate the woman who plays the sexual role in the film, and makes the wife alienated from her husband if he fails to imitate the male figure.

Similarly, the same thing happens upon fornication. When a man fornicates with an experienced whore, he feels disappointed when his wife fails to offer moves similar to the ones offered by the whore, who has provided him with all elements of excitement. Perhaps this is one among the reasons that have led some jurists to forbid temporary marriage (mutaa) to common prostitutes. So, we believe that the x-rated movies and pornography have a negative impact on the spiritual, moral and family sides of a person; thus, I forbid it for spouses.

But, if a husband or a wife, or both suffer frigidity in the absence of any means of treatment, whether natural- through mutual excitation -or through medication, and if the only treatment is watching pornographic scenes, then this will be permissible, only because this is the only means, keeping in mind that this should be done apart from any excess, just like taking the proper dosage of the medicine prescribed, provided that this passive situation may threaten their matrimonial life.

Also we asked to the Library (Maktaba) of Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah in Arabic.

Translation:

Date: 18/19 December 2013

Question: What's the ruling to watch pornographic films, for those who suffer sexual dysfunction? And if that was haram, is this human worth discretionary?

Answer: It's not permissible, only if the treatment of his condition depends to watch that drives the instincts without getting carried away by this and going too far, this is for the married one who wants to cure himself, otherwise it's not permissible.

16 of Safar 1435 after Hijrah.


We can conclude that Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah allows watching pornography under certain conditions if the woman is not ready (for relations) for example, and if there are other sexual problems (as mentionned).

At the end it's the same he allows it, some would say that he permitted it by condition the problem is that it is not a matter of life or death to put a condition to make it allowed and it is not based on nothing except his "scientific research" We would love if Fadlallah shows us the evidence because for the moment we look ridiculous in front of others (Don't forget that he banned Tatbir for the same reason).

Now let's see what our Aimah (as) said.

From Abi Ja'far (as) who said: The Prophet (saw) cursed a man who look at the private part of a woman who is not allowed for him, and a man betrayed his brother in his wife,  and a man who needs people to his utility so he asked them for bribery.
(10384) - 14 - عنه، عن بعض العراقيين، عن محمد بن المثنى، عن أبيه، عن عثمان بن يزيد، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر (ع) قال: لعن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) رجلا ينظر إلى فرج امرأة لا تحل له ورجلا خان أخاه في امرأته ورجلا يحتاج الناس إلى نفعه فسألهم الرشوة.
- Furu' al-Kafi of Sheikh al-Kuleyni, Vol.5, Page 559



And he (the prophet) forbade for a man to look at the nakedness of his muslim brother and he said who meditation of the nakedness of his muslim brother, cursed him 70 000 angels, and forbade the woman to look at the nakedness of a woman, and forbade to a man to look into his neighbor's house, and said who looked to the nakedness of his muslim brother or the nakedness non-family deliberate, Allah enter him with the hypocrites who were looking for nakedness of muslims and Allah will not remove him from this world until Allah expose him unless he repents.
2- و نهى أن ينظر الرجل إلى عورة أخيه المسلم و قال من تأمل عورة أخيه المسلم لعنه سبعون ألف ملك و نهى المرأة أن تنظر إلى عورة المرأة و نهى أن يطلع الرجل في بيت جاره و قال من نظر إلى عورة أخيه المسلم أو عورة غير أهله متعمدا أدخله الله مع المنافقين الذين كانوا يبحثون عن عورات المسلمين و لم يخرج من الدنيا حتى يفضحه الله إلا أن يتوب

Now let's see the scholars.

Allamah al-Hilli said:
It is obligatory (Wajib) to hide the private part as the Prophet (saw) said: "Hide (literally protects) your private part, except your wife or what your right hand possesses out of the captives [or slaves]."
and al-Sadiq (as) said : "A man must not look at the private part of his brother."

And the private part is the front and the back, based on the word of al-Kadhim (as) "Private part consists of two private parts: the front and the back."
ويجب ستر العورة لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: (احفظ عورتك، إلا من زوجتك أو ما ملكت يمينك) (2)، وقول الصادق عليه السلام: " لا ينظر الرجل إلى عورة أخيه " (3).
والعورة هي القبل والدبر، لقول الكاظم عليه السلام: " العورة عورتان: القبل والدبر " (4).

Sayyed Khomeini said:
It is necessary in a situation like other situation to cover the private part of the respected viewr as it is a man or a woman even mentally retarded children or mature, as he is not allowed to watch private part of another even if the person is mentally retarded viewed or mature child.
 يجب في حال التخلي كسائر الأحوال ستر العورة عن الناظر المحترم رجلا كان أو امرأة حتى المجنون والطفل المميزين، كما يحرم النظر إلى عورة الغير ولو كان المنظور مجنونا أو طفلا مميزا،
