What is your opinion on establishing an Islamic channel?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh abundantly, forgive his mistakes, and raise his rank in both worlds.
The Shaykh : And whoever said it and whoever heard it.
The questioner : Amen, O the Generous.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Some of the brothers believe that the existence of a Shari'ah channel competing with those low channels broadcast via satellite justifies acquiring it. I hope you will clarify what the honorable Shaykh sees regarding this?
The Shaykh : What I see is that there should be an Islamic channel, an Islamic channel in which scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge, people of sound creed, speak, clarifying the truth without quarreling, disputes, or cursing others. If such a channel exists, Allah will benefit people through it. I hope that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will bring this about, because the fact that people watch nothing but what is broadcast on these destructive television channels is a great harm. But if there is an Islamic channel in which scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge and strong in clarifying the truth speak, then for every commodity there is a buyer. The people of falsehood will go to falsehood, and the people of good will go to good. And if this Islamic channel is engaging in its presentation, in raising issues, and in answering difficulties, many people will turn to it, even those who do not want this. So I ask Allah to bring this about soon, so that people will be occupied with it instead of watching the corrupt, harmful satellite channels.
