Television and Radio
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 3303 )
Q5: What is the ruling on television and radio, and what is the ruling on praying behind someone who listens to them?
A5: The ruling on listening to television and radio and watching television varies according to what is broadcast on them, whether good or evil, and what appears on television in the form of forbidden or permissible images. The ruling on radio is like the ruling on television, though it is lighter because it does not contain images. As for the ruling on praying behind someone who uses them, it varies according to the ruling on listening
whether it is permissible or forbidden, while the prayer is valid in both cases.
