Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And he also said there is no objection to women appearing to attract viewers,
The Shaykh:
women appearing.
The questioner:
Yes, to attract viewers.
The Shaykh:
To attract viewers means on the channels, because viewing is on television. How is there no objection to women appearing before people who watch them? In order to attract people to the channels, meaning they use the woman as a means of advertising. This is an insult and this is also a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). This is a fitnah: the woman appearing before people, adorned, with her face uncovered. All of this is forbidden and wrong, and it is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
