The ruling on watching series that touch upon Islamic legal rulings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With the approach of the month of Ramadan, a famous program appears before us containing a lot of acting out of some Islamic legal rulings. It appears before us. A famous program. Famous. Yes, indeed. It contains a lot of acting out of some Islamic legal rulings, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, belittling modesty and the hijab, and portraying upright characters, displaying them in the manner of Sufis. The question is: Is this matter a form of belittling and mocking the religion of Allah? And what is the ruling on watching these series?

Answer:
There is no doubt that this is among the greatest forms of belittling the religion and its people. Watching it is like sitting with those whom Allah the Exalted described:
those who engage in [offensive] discourseالَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي
[Al-An'am 6:68]
They mock the verses of Allah. Watching is like sitting. This is except for one who condemns this matter and reports it. Whoever watches it in order to condemn it, report it, and strive to remove it, that is good. As for the one who watches it, is relaxed, finds it permissible, and laughs with them, he falls under their ruling. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
