Children's Programs on Television
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! There is no doubt that the means of educating children in our present age is based on the television set and the press. It is regrettable that even children's programs are presented to them by a woman who displays her adornment, with her head uncovered, wearing artificial cosmetics on her face, and wearing tight clothing. Is there not, after that, a correct means of educating our Muslim children? We ask Your Eminence to guide these people.
Answer:
This effort is being made by us and by others, and we ask Allah to make the efforts beneficial. This and other existing evil—we ask Allah to remove it through the hands of the righteous and the good. We ask Allah to help in that, and to grant success to the scholars in exerting their efforts, and to grant success to the state in what He loves and is pleased with, and to appoint the best of them to the affairs of the Muslims, and to keep the wicked away from them, and to grant all of them truthfulness. Allah grants us truthfulness and knows the truth in everything. Yes.
