Advice for those in charge of a channel that broadcasts Islamic songs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. The questioner says: There has been a lot of talk about al-Majid satellite channel and what is broadcast on it, which is called Islamic songs. In fact, they have created special programs on it to support talented singers. What is your Eminence’s opinion on this? And do you have any advice for those in charge of the channel? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
We used to hear the Sunnah on this channel. I have not looked into it, and, praise be to Allah, I have no knowledge of all the channels. But people praise this channel. However, if they introduce things like songs and other such things, that will tarnish its reputation. So I advise those in charge of it to keep it pure, as it was at first, free from these trivialities and these things, and not to listen to those who suggest these things to them. They should maintain their authenticity and the praise people have for them, because if they introduce these things, many people will turn away from this channel. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
