The Cultural Invasion via Television
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! Television has become more severe in its impact than the edge of the sword. Is there no deterrent for it? This cultural invasion is more severe than a military invasion. Nations are defined by their morals as long as they remain; if their morals are lost, they are lost.
Answer:
We have also done what we could in this regard. We spoke to His Majesty the King about it last Monday, and he promised well to rectify it. We wrote to the minister, may Allah keep him safe, and we ask Allah to make him beneficial in the means, and we ask Allah that you may see what pleases you, and that your training [may be good], and that you make du'a.
