The Ruling on Filming Graves and Sorcerers on Satellite Channels

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are people on some satellite channels who go to countries where shirk (associating partners with Allah) exists and film the graves and those who circumambulate them, as well as the sorcerers at the graves, with explanation and elaboration. Their intention in doing so is to clarify the truth for people and call them to tawhid (the oneness of Allah). What is the opinion on such satellite programs?

Answer:
This is a method that the Salaf (the earliest generations) did not follow, and it is not the practice of the Salaf. They warn and cite the verses and hadiths, explain tawhid to people, and clarify shirk for them. It is not reported that they acted it out or presented images. No, this is an overexertion, and perhaps it is a promotion of it. They promote its images, and the common people and the ignorant think that this is a righteous deed. Yes.
