  • Is Watching Porn Equivalent To Committing Zina?

    Posted by Mian Samiullah Hassan on October 22, 2022 at 4:58 pm

    Salam , i often listen that there is zina of eyes , zina of ears etc etc ! But is there any authentic material regarding this? I know seeing girls or in extreme watching porn pushes you towards real Zina(sexual relation) and thats why its prohibited in Islam but like watching porn is really considered zina ? Is watching porn an equal sin as of doing physical real Zina?

    Obviosuly it is not equal to the real sin !

    It is a sadde zaria = which means it leads to Zina very much. And yes it is very indecent and not allowed! Also not healthy for you as it changes the chemistry of your brain and depletes dopamine that you would get from a real wife! So it has many harms, it is also forbidden because God does not like indecency in secret or openly and it is a sadde zaria to zina.

    Is watching porn Haram like Zina?:

    If by Haram one means whether it should be refrained from or not, then yes, one should refrain from watching such content (as Sadd-e-Zariya). And if by Haram one means whether it is a major sin like committing Zina or a minor sin, then latter would be more appropriate categorization for watching porn. Therefore, one should avoid watching it on grounds of Sadd-e-Zariya and it being a minor sin.
