Disposing of the forbidden television set
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on the one who watches television? And if it is forbidden, what should I do with it? Should I cut it, or sell it, or give it to a good person?
Answer:
This is one of the calamities, and generally it brings evil. It is better to avoid it and stay away from it. Breaking it is better for you than selling it. Break it, praise be to Allah, and be free of it. Yes, you will lose some money, but that is not a problem. Break it and be free of it, and let this serve as a deterrent for yourself against this action. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
