Should I let my children go to their relatives who have a satellite dish in their house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, she says: I have daughters, and I am their guardian, because their father has left me. There is a satellite dish in their father's house. Will I be sinful if they go to their father to greet him? I know that they watch it. Also, my sister has a satellite dish. Should I let them go to my sister alone? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is not permissible, because it affects the daughters. Wearing this, what is not worn, and what comes through it, is all corruption and evil. It affects whoever watches it and becomes corrupted by it; they become corrupted by it and look at it. So it is a means of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). If you go to them and they do not use it, there is no harm, provided you advise them to abandon it and remove it. But if they are using it and the visitors are watching it, then it is not permissible to go there, because this visit involves harm, especially to the eyes of the young ones. It may lead them to become attached to it, and they may ask their guardian to bring it to their house, so that this visit becomes a cause of evil.
