Confronting the Trials of Satellite Dishes in the Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a matter about which you have asked often, may Allah preserve you, and that is that some of the brothers whom Allah the Exalted has granted repentance and steadfastness face trials in their homes, such as satellite dishes and the like. They seek guidance on how to deal with these things?
Answer:
The believer and the student of knowledge must strive to remove evil from his home, whether it is satellite dishes or other things. He must exert himself and be patient with his parents, his brothers, and all his household, using kind words, a good manner, persistence, and advice, until the prohibited things, such as satellite dishes and the like, are removed. He must strive and be patient, advise them, teach them, and inform them that this is not permissible and that it is among the causes of evil and dire consequences, so that perhaps Allah will guide them through these means. If he is unable to do so, he should leave them and move to another place.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
