What is the ruling on acquiring satellite dishes (dishes)?

Question : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. As for what follows, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you and benefit us with your knowledge. The questioner says: We see, may Allah preserve you, the spread of satellite dishes, known as dishes, which bring us from abroad both the worthless and the valuable. What is the ruling on acquiring this device, if we were to watch only beneficial matters on it?

Answer : Based on what we hear about these dishes that receive satellite channels, based on the reality, we hold that acquiring them is forbidden.
Because the reality is that ninety-nine percent of people use them in a forbidden manner. If it happens that one person uses them in a permissible manner, that is rare. The scholars say that the rare has no ruling and is not considered. Therefore, I say that acquiring them is forbidden, because of the great abominable matters that result from it, which a person of honor cannot speak of. It is a trial that many people have been tested with, to the point that you hear of a poor man who does not have enough for his food and drink going to borrow money and buy these receivers. It is a great affliction by which people are being tested today. We ask Allah the Exalted to guide them and protect them from it . Yes.
