The Ruling on Installing a Satellite Dish in the Home

The questioner : May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and benefit us with our presence by what you say. Honorable Shaykh, before the questions, this woman says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I am the one who asked about the separation from a husband who upholds the five pillars of Islam and has a satellite dish. I am glad to tell you that on this Friday, after the prayer, he removed the dish from our house by the grace of Allah.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.

The questioner : And we praised Allah, and I hope you will pray for us for steadfastness and success.

The Shaykh : I ask Allah to make them steadfast, and I congratulate this husband who listened to the word and then followed the best. I say: I ask Allah for him for steadfastness, and let him be glad with good. But I say to him: do not sell it to anyone, because if he sells it to someone, what will that person do with it? He will use it for evil. But let him break it. Let him break it, and Allah the Exalted will compensate him. If he is poor, let him contact me, and if he is rich, it will not harm him if he breaks it.
