The questioner:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on repairing video and television equipment and earning from that work?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Repairing video and television equipment and earning from that work?
The Shaykh:
Leaving this is safer. It is safer for a person to seek other work, safer than working with television and video and the like; because many people use them for falsehood. It is better for a person to seek other work that is better than this, or at least safer for him. Otherwise, it is not forbidden; because he may use them or not, it will be a lie, he does not use them for falsehood. But since many people do not care, and whether he will avoid this or not, television, video, sports, and radio, all these devices, people differ in how they use them; some use them for evil and some use them for good. It is better for a person to seek work that is purer than these and better, or at least safer for him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
