Acquiring Satellite Channels and Appearing on Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Given the large number of deviant satellite channels that strive to their utmost to lead people astray, do you advise acquiring Al-Majd channel?
The Shaykh:
I do not deal with any of the channels, neither Al-Majd nor others, and I do not know them. Since I do not know them, I do not say anything about them. Yes.
The questioner:
Shaykh, they say it was.
The Shaykh:
Stick to the radio; the radio is sufficient. It brings you the news, it brings you the religious programs, so you do not need anything else. Yes.
The questioner:
Shaykh, you recently appeared in a lecture on Al-Majd channel, and it was a lecture in a mosque.
The Shaykh:
The lecture was not in a mosque; rather, it was a meeting with the imams and preachers of the National Guard. I did not give them permission to broadcast this session. They broadcast it without permission. I did not authorize this and I did not approve of it. I do not appear on channels, but they broadcast it without permission as their own judgment. This was their judgment, but they erred in this. Yes.
