Advice for one who has a television and video in his home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, I hope our home has a television and video. Every time I enter the house, I turn it off and shorten it for them. My mother stood up to me, my father stood up to me, and this other one stood up to me.
The Shaykh:
Even if they live to be your age, I advise them with advice in the regions, and I give you the good advice always, always, if Allah wills, so that they may benefit from it.
The questioner:
What?
The Shaykh:
It is upon him in the dream and in good speech, my son, my daughter, like this. So this is not suitable, this is not permissible. If you turn it on to the Qur'an or something good, that is not done, but this is not suitable, twice, three times, thirteen times.
The questioner:
Judge me as I am.
The Shaykh:
And there is no warning; the broadcast does not harm.
