Watching TV Series and Entertainment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Many people, except for those whom Allah has shown mercy, have been swept away by watching television series and entertainment programs, in which women appear, especially during these blessed nights. A word of guidance, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
Yes. The Muslim must protect his hearing and his sight, and all his affairs, from what is not permissible in this month and in others. It is not permissible to look at degrading, bad series and plays, or at entertainment that contains no evil but is distracting, taking up a person’s time with laughter and… wasting time and foolishness. So the Muslim should elevate himself above them and keep them away from his home and his children, and not look at them. Yes.
The presenter:
The questions have ended, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
