Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O esteemed Shaykh, what is the ruling on having a television set in the home?
The Shaykh : By Allah, as for the person who wants to acquire a television to watch what is beneficial, there is no blame on him. This is only for a person who has full control over the television, such that no one is in the house except him or someone like him who avoids what is forbidden. But as for the one who acquires a television to watch whatever comes, let him beware of acquiring it. Yes.
