The Ruling on Preventing Children from Going Out and Bringing In Means of Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner used his father as a code for his name. He says: Honorable Shaykh, my father says, “We will give you whatever you want and fulfill whatever you desire, but do not go out of the house.” So he brought us the internet, satellite dishes, and everything we want. He says the important thing is that you do not go out into the street. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
As for his protecting them from going out into the street out of fear for them regarding influences and bad company, that is a good thing. But as for him bringing them means of evil into the house, he has deceived them and done nothing. He prevented them from going out of the house out of fear for them, and he came to them with what affects their religion, their creed, and their morals. This is internal evil, and he prevented them from external evil, but he opened the door to external evil for them. This is a bad action and is not permissible. Yes.
