Q: My question is that can a husband and wife watch sexual content together if it's the only way they can have sex because one of them got low desire while other one got very strong desire. If he can't get it from his partner he might commit zina. Remember he lives in the country where he can get it in return of money. The big problem is he can't divorce the partner and get married to another because of family problems and his partner is not ready to go to doctors so he is kind of stuck. The only way is sexual content is solving his problem and if he can't do it, can he watch it and masturbate to prevent himself committing gunnah.

Q: I was introduced to a boy with the intention of marriage. He is from a different city. We are compatible in all aspects as we've discussed what it is we are looking for in a spouse. I went for umrah and made a lot of Dua for guidance. I met this boy with my brother who is my mahram. My parents knew about this and agreed it was ok. However we decided to make istikhaara. He hasn't spoken to my parents or his. My istikhaara came out positive and he says he didn't have a good feeling. I am certain we went about it the incorrect way. Should he have come to my parents with his parents and then him and I perform istikhaara? Or was this method valid. He is a good boy with all the things a Muslimah should look for. I've kept my chastity etc for marriage. He feels also that I would be a perfect companion as we both only want to work towards attaining Jannah. But after his istikhaara how can we go against Allah (Ta'ala). It is confusing for me as I've abundantly made Dua not to meet him even once if he is not for me. I know my Allah would never have sent him to my hometown if we are not meant for each other. All that is in our way now is his istikhaara answer. Should he first approach my parents along with his?
