Disposing of a Television Set
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on the electricity for the television, and if it is forbidden, what should I do with it? Should we break it, sell it, or give it to a charitable organization?
Answer:
A television is one of the calamities, and generally it keeps one away from evil, so avoiding it and staying away from it is better. Breaking it is better for you than selling it. Break it, praise be to Allah, and be at ease from it. Yes, you will lose some money, but break it and be at ease from it, and let this serve as a deterrent for yourself against this action. Yes.
