Guidance for Those Who Watch TV Series in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is there any word of guidance for those who watch the TV series that come specifically in the month of Ramadan?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, there is no good in TV series. At the very least, they make a person negligent and take up his time without any benefit, if they are merely negative. But if they are low and wicked, that is even worse. So the Muslim should not follow TV series, and in Ramadan it is even more so, because they occupy him from worship, from the night prayer, from the tarawih, and from occupying himself with them. And during the day, he may see bad scenes that affect his fasting, so he should stay away from watching TV series. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If it is not permissible in other months, how much more so in Ramadan? Yes.
The presenter:
