Selling a television set as a means of transferring harm to another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In connection with the discussion of these distractions, there is a follow-up to a previous question regarding the buying and selling of televisions. If it is known that this device causes harm, is selling this device to another person a case of transferring harm to others?
Answer:
You have the choice. If you wish, you may destroy it yourself. If you destroy it, no one will object to you, because it is yours. No one can prevent you from destroying it and breaking it; there is no obstacle. If you sell it and give the proceeds in charity, that is another solution. I do not assert this as a certainty, but I say it may be a solution. Allah knows best.
