Sitting with the father in a place where there is a satellite dish
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. May Allah send you success, Your Excellency the Shaykh. The questioner says: My father sits in the house in a place where there is a satellite dish, and he asks us to sit with him. We are greatly embarrassed by the continuation of this practice daily, and if we do not sit with him, he becomes angry. What should we do? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to sit with him if he is displaying in this gathering harms, sins, and obscene scenes. It is not permissible for you to sit with him, because this is a sin, and there is no obedience to a created being in the disobedience of the Creator. However, you must advise him against such things. Say to him: If you want us to be dutiful to you, sit with you, and be at ease with you, then remove this thing from us. Otherwise, we do not accept for our religion to watch such matters. If he is not convinced and does not comply, do not sit with him. Yes.
