Day Questions

If I arrive at a place and find someone I do not know leading prayer, but up until that point I have not seen him perform sin, is it permissible for me to pray behind him?

The prayer behind him is invalid unless the conditions of the Imam of the congregational prayers are met. Presenting himself to lead the congregational prayer by itself is not sufficient.

Can I record and take photos of my wife while she is in erotic positions and when we have sex, for our own personal use?

It is permissible to do so, but one should be careful that such photos or videos are kept secure and safe, so others do not have any access to them, and that they are not transferred to others by mistake.
