Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the ruling on a television set? And if it is forbidden, what should I do with it? Should I break it, sell it, or give it to a charitable organization?
Answer:
A television is one of the calamities, and generally it brings evil. It is better to avoid it and stay away from it. Breaking it is better for you than selling it. Break it, praise be to Allah, and be free of it. Yes, you will lose some money, but break it and be free of it, and let this be a deterrent for yourself against this action. Yes.
