Question:
He says: I am an elderly man, and my children insisted on bringing in the Al-Majd channel. Will I be sinful if they bring it into the house?
Answer:
If they bring it in without your consent, they have disobeyed you and will be sinful for doing so. They must remove it for the sake of being dutiful to you and showing kindness to you. If they do not remove it and you have expressed your disapproval to them, you are free of blame, because that is the utmost you can do,[Al-Baqarah 2:286].
