The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He bought a television to watch forbidden things on it.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then Allah opened the door for him and he repented.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : And he wanted to get rid of the television, and one of the da'wah offices offered to buy the device from him. Is it permissible for him to sell it to them, or must he give it away without taking money?
