What is shown on television: singing and dancing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: I swear to you by the Great Allah that I saw on the second channel a song and a man and a woman dancing. He is astonished by this, and more than this happens on television. Allah knows best about it. We ask Your Eminence to look into this matter; it is serious.

Answer:
We have been informed of some of this and of things worse than it. In fact, what concerns us in this matter is that it is not only us, but the people of knowledge as well. We ask Allah to benefit them through the means, to grant the state success in all good, to rectify this affliction, to remove the wicked from it, and to appoint the righteous over it. Yes.
