Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. You warned the brothers against watching satellite channels that contain insults against Allah and His Messenger? And this questioner asks: What is the ruling on sitting in front of internet screens and opening sites that contain insults against Allah and abuse of Him and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
This is like the channels; it is a gathering of evil, so do not sit with them. You are sitting with them, and even if they are far away, they are close to you in image, appearance, and speech, as if they are with you. The ruling is the same; this is a gathering of evil.
