The Impact of Low-Content Satellite Channels on Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner has used the letters A, A, B as a code for his name. He says: In our present time, Honorable Shaykh, these low-content satellite channels have multiplied, and the worst of them are those that call either to sorcery and fortune-telling or to shirk (associating partners with Allah). My children are always flipping through and watching such channels. Does this affect their creed? And what is obligatory for the fathers? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
This affects the creed, even if only in the long term. Also, it is obligatory for fathers to clear their homes of these bad devices and not allow their children to use them, in order to protect them, their religion, their creed, and their morals. For they are under the guardianship of their fathers as long as they are under their authority. It is not permissible for a father to enable his sons to use means of evil and corruption; he must keep them away from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
