What is the ruling on watching forbidden things while fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner asks: Does watching television, or what is broadcast via satellite, or what is shown on satellite dishes, diminish the fast?
This is a wrong, watching obscene films on television or satellite dishes is not permissible for the fasting person or the non-fasting person, but it does not invalidate the fast. Watching what is wrong does not invalidate the fast. He commits a sin, whether it is on a satellite dish, on a television, or in the hands of the people sitting there.
