Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man had bought a television and a video player before he was upright, and now, praise be to Allah, Allah has turned him to repentance. He asks: Should I sell these two devices, or what should I do?
Answer:
There is no doubt that getting rid of them and keeping them away from you and your children is better. So you should get rid of them in the way you see fit, but do not give them to someone who will use them in what is forbidden, such as songs and musical instruments. Yes.
