Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I asked my eldest brother to advise my children because they stay out late at night a lot. I am writing. He says: Get them. I asked my eldest brother to advise my children who stay out late at night a lot. He said to me: Bring them a television to the house with Islamic channels. And I do not see that there are Islamic channels, especially those with nasheeds and acting. What is your advice?
Answer:
And I will not advise your children. You do not rely on others for their advice. Advise them yourself. Also, there is no harm in you seeking help from Allah, then from one of your brothers to advise them. As for bringing a television into the house, I do not advise it in front of the children and in front of the women. I do not advise it. Safety and staying away from these matters is better, especially since the television now is not from the first generation anymore; the television now brings calamities and evils from the ugly, terrible satellite channels. Staying away from this is undoubtedly safer and purer for the house, and safer for you, your children, and your household. And that is what the one who advised you said. This is what he advised you. Yes.
