What is the ruling on bringing a television into the house, since the sons go to the neighbors' houses to watch it secretly?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My young son has caused me much trouble, for he goes to the neighbors' houses in my absence to watch the satellite channels and the evil things in them. One of the brothers advised me to bring in a television so that I could control my son. Another told me that the television also contains hidden evils, and advised me to bring in the Al-Majd channel. I am in need of this matter, and I cannot prevent my son from going to the neighbors except by this means. So what is your advice to me, and what is your opinion of this channel?

Answer:
If you are preventing him from going to the neighbors out of fear that he will be influenced by the channels, how do you answer to the fact that the channels in your house will influence him in your house? You prevented him from an evil that was not in your house, and now you want to bring the evil into your house. This is not acceptable at all; it is not acceptable. But seek help from Allah, be patient, and prevent your son from going to them. If he goes without your knowledge or beyond your ability to stop him, you are not held accountable by Allah, provided you have made your effort and he went secretly without you knowing, or it was beyond your control, for Allah will excuse you in that. But if you leave him to go and you do not want to bring evil into your house, this is not acceptable and is not permissible. You will corrupt him and corrupt others. Yes.
