The seventh question of Fatwa No. ( 2742 )
Q7: Is it permissible for me to buy a television and bring it into my home and watch it, and listen to all the statues and games in it, and is it permissible to buy recorders and listen to the songs in them, or is that not permissible, neither at the time of prayer nor at other times?
A7: Most of what is broadcast on television is amusement and evil, and whatever is predominantly evil over good is forbidden for the Muslim to buy, possess, watch, or listen to, and the same applies to recorders of songs.
