Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If a father asks his son to hand him the remote for the television or the computer, knowing that the father is lax regarding forbidden things, should the son obey him or refuse?
Answer:
If he knows that he will turn on the television to what is not permissible, he does not give it to him, meaning he does not cooperate with him. But if he does not know, he gives it to him.
