Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man did not forbid his children, he did not forbid his children from watching television at their relatives' homes, but he prevented television from entering his home with the aim of raising them in the house and nurturing them in religion and reading books, so that he would teach them this without them realizing it. He asks: Is his action correct?

Answer:
If they watch television at others' homes, they will demand it in their own home. If they watch television at others' homes, they will demand it in their own home. And they will say: Either you bring it, or we will not go to the houses of our neighbors and relatives that have a television. So you must keep them from going to the house that has a television if you want to raise them properly. Do not let them go. Yes.
