Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man who graduated with a technical degree, and my father asked me to open a commercial shop and have my daughter work in this shop. However, the shop will involve operating electronic devices such as televisions, radios, and electronic game consoles. So, should we open this shop despite the doubt in this matter and obey our father, or should we refuse, and what is the position of the deceased in this?
Answer:
Explain the matter to him. Tell him that this shop will contain things that are not appropriate, such as games and repairing devices used for evil. We do not want any of these matters to be part of our earnings. He will be convinced, if Allah wills. If he is not convinced, do not obey him in this matter. Do not obey him in this matter.
