Ruling on working in the repair of television sets?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers asks; he is an engineer for repairing video and television equipment. Then he says that these machines are mostly used by their owners in an improper manner. He asks whether he should continue repairing them or change his job.
The Shaykh:
He should stay away from it and not continue. The common use of them is in what Allah has made lawful, so what is required is to stay away from them and work in something else.
The presenter:
My grandfather.
The Shaykh:
So that he does not become one of those who cooperate with others in sin and transgression.
The presenter:
What Allah willed.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.
