The ruling on placing satellite channels in the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, my brother, 'Awad from al-Dawadimi, come on the line with us. Please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace be upon you and mercy. May Allah reward you with good. May Allah welcome you. Yes. May Allah keep you safe. I am asking the Shaykh about the Saudi channels; if I put them in the house and deleted all the questions, is that permissible or not? Thank you, thank you.
Answer:
My brother, the people in the house, your children and your women, are under your responsibility. If this satellite dish brings them matters that are not permissible, and views that are not permissible, then you are responsible for that. However, if they do not use it except for what is beneficial, or what does not harm their religion, then it is better to leave it out; safety from it is better. But we do not say that it is not permissible; we say that safety from it is better. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh.
