Ruling on boycotting one who has a dish (satellite receiver)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the one who has a dish to be boycotted?
Answer:
He deserves to be boycotted; because the dish contains much evil, but he should be advised and directed toward good.
Q: If it is hoped that he will refrain from this?
The Shaykh: He should be advised and directed toward good, and it should be said to him, "Beware of this and do not use the dish, perhaps Allah will guide him." In what has reached us, it contains much evil, and it contains many evil, wicked displays.
Q: Are you sure of its evil?
The Shaykh: He deserves to be boycotted. One who displays sin deserves to be boycotted. This is a rule; boycotting him is a confirmed Sunnah.
