The ruling on bringing a television into the home to prevent children from watching it at the neighbors'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My children go to the neighbors' to watch cartoons. Is it permissible for me to bring a television into my home because I am afraid of them going out of the house to the neighbors?

Answer:
Do not bring it into your home, and do not let them go to the neighbors. Keep them under your control in your home, teach them, study with them, and encourage them. Even if you give them some incentives, they will stay in the house. Do not leave them to be neglected like that, letting them do as they please. No.
