Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner asks about the love of live broadcasting and following it via the screens displaying the broadcast, and whether it falls under the prohibited image or is it legislated?
Answer:
There is no harm in following the live broadcast in the mosque and in other places where there is benefit and public interest, as long as it is not during the time of prayer, when the prayer is being established and the people are gathered in the mosque listening to the live broadcast. Good reaches them, and this is a good thing. This is from the grace of Allah and His facilitation for spreading the call and spreading knowledge in this time. So it is a blessing from Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
