The questioner asks: What is the ruling on repairing video and television equipment and earning from that work?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
Repairing video and television equipment and earning a livelihood from that?

The Shaykh:
Leaving this is safer. It is safer for a person to seek other work than working with television, video, and the like, because many people use them for what is wrong. Seeking other work is safer than this, or at least better for him. Otherwise, it is not forbidden, because people may use them for good and not for what is wrong. However, since many people do not care, it is better for a person to avoid this, or seek work that is better and more protective for him. People differ regarding television, video, sports, and the radio; some use them for evil, and some use them for good. It is better for a person to seek work that is purer and better than these, or at least safer for him.

May Allah reward you.
