The Ruling on Working in the Repair of Video and Television Devices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: He is an engineer who repairs video and television equipment. He then says that the owners of these devices mostly use them in an improper way. He asks: Should he continue repairing them, or should he change his work?
Answer:
He should stay away from it and not continue, as the most likely outcome is that they will be used in a way that Allah has forbidden. He should stay away from it and utilize his skills for something else, so that he does not become one of those who cooperate with others in sin and transgression.
