Advice on the danger of satellite channels to children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Satellite channels have spread among many people under the pretext of following the news, and the victims are the children, both boys and girls. We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, for advice for parents and for the youth in particular.
Answer:
Do not bring satellite channels into your homes if you fear for your religion and for your children, for they are pure harm that brings in evil. They bring in fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). It is a severe fitnah. So keep your homes away from these satellite channels, to preserve your religion and to preserve those whom Allah has placed in your care from your household.[At-Tahrim 66:6] And there is no good in satellite channels, and you can get the news from the radio. Or from the Saudi television, if it is absolutely necessary. The Saudi television, if it is absolutely necessary, is sufficient. And the radio has all the news and repeats it. It repeats the news.
Even though most of the news is deception, lies, and incitement; most of the news is nothing but deception, lies, and incitement. But if it is absolutely necessary, you say, "I listen to the news like everyone else." You have the radio that brings you the news.
The presenter:
May Allah send blessings upon you.
