The Ruling on Bringing the Internet into the Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible to bring the internet into the home, since some fathers object to its entry?
Answer:
It is not permissible to bring the internet or satellite channels into the home because of the things they bring and the way people and the household use them for purposes other than what you intend. You may intend to use them for something beneficial, but people, women, children, the foolish, and open sinners use them for whatever they desire. So do not be the cause of bringing this thing into your home. A person in good health does not enter into the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). It is obligatory for the one in charge of the home to protect the home. He should not bring into it anything that affects the household or brings them harm. Yes.

May Allah reward you
