A Response to Those Who Cite the Appearance of Scholars on Satellite TV
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I advise someone who watches satellite TV, he says, “If it were forbidden, the scholars and preachers would not appear on it.” What should I say to him? And what is your guidance on this matter?
Answer:
The scholars and preachers do not appear on satellite TV; they appear only on local television. What is broadcast on satellite TV comes from outside and is not from our country, so they do not appear on it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
