Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I bought an internet connection device in order to use it for what is beneficial and useful. I bought an internet connection device in order to use it for what is beneficial and useful, and I placed it in the house in a common area where relatives and others gather. He says: If my guests and relatives use it for something forbidden, am I sinful for that, knowing that I am not certain about their use of it or the type of that use?

Answer:
Yes, you are sinful because you opened the door for them and brought them the means, so you are sinful for this. Therefore, it is obligatory to remove it from your house and take it out of your house.
