Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I sit with my family and my father, and they turn on the television, and it shows serials, music, and women displaying their adornment. I do not intend to look at that; rather, I want to please them by sitting with them.
Answer:
No, do not sit with them. Do not please them with what is wrong. Do not please them,[Luqman 31:15]. So the father is not to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah. Yes.

Answer:
No, do not sit with them. Do not please them with what is wrong. Do not please them,
But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا
