What is the guidance regarding one who issues a fatwa permitting watching satellite channels to learn about the matters of life surrounding them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man claims knowledge and its pursuit, and issues a fatwa permitting watching the dish and satellite channels on the pretext that people need to know about the matters of life surrounding them and their trials, and that a person should not be rigid. He also attacks the great scholars of the Sunnah. What is the ruling on dealing with this man, and how should he be advised?

Answer:
Meaning, they are rigid and he is not. If they are rigid, it means he is not. This is a false statement and a statement that is not permissible. Watching satellite channels, if it contains fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and evil, it is not permissible for a person to watch it, except from the perspective that if he is among the people of knowledge and wants to denounce it. He wants to record this matter and document it. And he brings it to the authorities and performs its denouncement. This is permissible for the sake of forbidding evil. As for an ordinary person who knows nothing and sits and says, "Oh," this is not permissible. Yes.
