I rebuked my father regarding the satellite dish and the television; if I sit with him in front of the television, am I among those who approve of what is wrong?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There is a satellite dish in our house, and I am troubled by this matter. When I advise my father, he says there is nothing wrong with it. If I sit with my family and my father in front of the television, am I among those who approve of what is wrong?

Answer:
If the satellite dish broadcasts what is wrong, then yes, you are among those who did not denounce the wrong in their hearts, so you have approved of it in your heart. Do not sit in that gathering if the satellite dish broadcasts what is wrong. But if the satellite dish does not broadcast what is wrong, the matter is easy in this case. Yes. And avoiding the satellite dish is undoubtedly safer for one’s conscience; because it leads and draws the people of the house to things that ultimately become ugly. It is one of the means of evil. Yes.
