Question:
The questioner says: A man is married and has sons and daughters. He works in the repair and installation of satellite dishes. Is it permissible for his wife to live with him? Is his wealth forbidden? Please advise us, may Allah bless you.
Answer:
This earnings is doubtful. This is doubtful. Avoiding it is undoubtedly safer and more purifying for the conscience. This is the least of its states; the least of its states is that it is among the doubtful matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 16:32 This is the least of the states of the earnings of one who works with satellite dishes. The least of its states is that if he earns it, it is doubtful. Yes.

So he, who saves himself from these doubtful things, saves his religion and his honor (i.e. keeps them blameless). And he who indulges in these doubtful things is like a shepherd who pastures (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it.
