How to Confront the Danger of Satellite Channels

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The benefits of explaining the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. You mentioned the danger of satellite channels and that they have entered every Muslim home. Would confronting this involve establishing satellite channels that spread correct knowledge and the Sunnah, strengthen the Muslims, and teach them what is lawful and what is forbidden?

Answer:
First, if it is possible to prevent the reception of satellite channels, and there is a means to block the broadcast, then it is obligatory for the Muslims, and especially for their rulers, to take measures to prevent this broadcast from reaching the lands of the Muslims. If this is not possible, then at least countermeasures should be taken to establish Islamic satellite channels that publish refutations of these falsehoods and lies, so that Muslims know that they are false and evil, and they will then beware of them.
