Regulating Muftis on Channels, in Newspapers, and on Radio

Question:
He says: When the muftis have spread across satellite channels, newspapers, and radio stations, how are these people left without supervision, issuing fatwas and arguing in defense of their rulings?

Answer:
This falls to the authorities. We ask Allah to grant them success in regulating these matters and being alert to them. It is up to the authorities to do what they are able to do, to do what they are able to do. There are things they are not able to control, namely the satellite channels that come from abroad. They cannot control these because they come via broadcast. It is not possible to control them, but Muslims should be wary of them and guard against them. Control is to be exercised over our media. The authorities are able to control our domestic media. May Allah guide them to do so and assist them. Yes.
