There is a satellite dish in our home that broadcasts songs, and I swore I would break it, but I left it alone out of consideration for my mother’s feelings

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a satellite dish in our home that broadcasts series and songs, and I have advised my family several times, but they did not listen to me. One day, while I was praying, they raised the volume of the songs to a blameworthy level. When I finished, I said, “By Allah, I will break it.” I swore twice. He asks: Is there sin in this oath because this dish is used to disobey Allah, or should I leave it and not break it out of consideration for my mother’s feelings?

Answer:
Your mother, may Allah protect us from that, this is a challenge to evil. How can you be content with songs? How can you be content with these evil voices? How can you be content with this? You are forbidding what is wrong. This is wrong. Whoever among you sees what is wrong, let him change it with his hand, and if he cannot, then with his tongue, even if he did not swear, and if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith. So it is necessary to forbid what is wrong. A mother who loves evil, there is no good in her, there is no good in her. But you must advise them and deal with them through good admonition and argument
in a way that is best untilبِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ
[Al-An'am 6:152]
Allah the Exalted will guide them. Yes.
