The Ruling on Watching Television Channels

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sa'd, please ask your question. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. May Allah make your evening pleasant. May Allah welcome you, and upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. The first question, may Allah grant us and you success: What is the ruling on following channels like Al Jazeera Documentary, Al Arabiya, and Al Amakain Drama, which is the Bedouin channel? Is following them forbidden or permissible, or something like that? Please, Shaykh, the ruling on channels, the questioner says.

Answer:
Channels that contain benefit and religious interest, from which you benefit in your religion, there is nothing wrong with following them. As for channels that have no benefit or contain harm, leave them and avoid them.
