Is it permissible to watch the Rafidah’s clips on the day of Ashura for the purpose of seeing their errors and warning against them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to watch the satellite channels that broadcast what the Rafidah do on the day of Ashura and listen to their sermons for the purpose of seeing the errors and warning against them? Is this permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible, because perhaps something of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) may befall you, or you may commit a sin if you watch this munkar (what is wrong) while Allah has kept you safe from it and you are far from it. So keep away from it and do not look at it. Ask your Lord for well-being, and do not expose yourself to danger by saying, “There is no danger to me.” If your Lord had willed, you would also be like them. The heart is between the fingers of the Most Merciful, so you must ask Allah for well-being. Do not look at them, and do not look at this falsehood, this munkar (what is wrong), and this shirk (associating partners with Allah) to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this batil (invalid). Yes.
