I want to buy a video player, on the condition that I will not allow my family to watch anything through it except lectures and lessons. What is the advice?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I want to buy an audio and video player, on the condition that I will commit myself and my family to watching nothing through it except the lectures and lessons of the scholars. Do you advise me to do so?

Answer:
By Allah, we do not advise you to do that, because this is a means. At first, or for a week, or for the first month, you will restrict yourselves to the lectures, and then you will say, "By Allah, we want to see what is out there, like other people, of the other films and the other tapes." So Satan will drag you along, little by little. The best thing is to cut the matter off. And you can obtain knowledge through many means, praise be to Allah, without the video. Yes.
