Warning Against Bringing Televisions into the Home

Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is bringing a television into the home considered bringing in images? And does it prevent the angels from entering?

Answer:
As for the issue of images, the images do not remain; they are displayed on the screen and then disappear. But the problem is the programs. The problem is the programs that come on the television: are they good programs or not? Mostly, they are not good. And even if there is a little bit of good programs found in them, mostly they are mixed with other programs. So safety lies in avoiding it. Safety lies in avoiding it and keeping it away from the home, the children, and the women. That is better, especially since now it is no longer limited to the Saudi television, which is generally regulated, generally, even if there are errors in it. But now satellite channels come from every direction, so it gathers many evils.
