Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner, an elderly woman, says: I have no one but my husband, and I sometimes watch lessons and lectures by the scholars. Is it permissible for me to watch them and benefit from them? Or is there harm in looking at the men?
Answer:
May Allah reward you. It is better for her to listen to the recordings and the radio, since there is no video. That is better for her and more pious. What is on the television is available on the radio and in radio programs. Voice without image. Yes.
