The Ruling on Television

AUTHOR: Imaam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee
SOURCE: Al-Asaalah Magazine, Issue #10
PRODUCED BY: Al-Ibaanah.com

Question: What is the ruling on television today?

Answer: There is no doubt that television, today, is Haraam (forbidden). This is since television is like the radio and tape recorder, they are like all the other blessings that Allaah has bestowed upon His servants, as He has stated:

"And if you were to count the blessings of Allaah, you would never be able to count them." [Surah An-Nahl: 18]

Thus, hearing is a blessing and eyesight is a blessing, and so are the lips and the tongue. However, many of these blessings become trials upon their possessors because they do not use them in a way that Allaah loves and wants for them to be used.

Therefore, I consider the radio, television and the tape recorder to be from the blessings of Allaah, but when are they deemed as blessings? When they are used to bring benefit to the ummah. Today, ninety-nine percent of what is on television is evil, licentious, immoral, forbidden, and so on, while one percent of it has some shows presented that are of benefit to some people.

But the consideration is with regard to the majority (and not the minority). So when a true Muslim state exists that can place programs based on knowledge, which would be beneficial for the ummah, at that point I will not say that television is permissible, but rather I will say that it is obligatory.

I guess it can be a force for good also. You can have a DVD player and put up what ever you want. We also have many Islamic channels now free-to-air (depends on your language, there is certainly no shortage of these in Arabic).

You can also watch documentary channels .. etc.

As for the news, I tend to follow the internet. Better coverage and gives your mind more space to think about what is being said.

Brothers and sisters,

we should bear in mind that we can not say watching televsion is Haram in general. For me, I abstained from watching it for about six years because every time i repent of my sins, watching TV drive me to them again. So, any smart person should avoid the places and causes of sins. Anyway, if it happens when i visist my sister and her TV is on I will ask them to switch the channel if there is any unlawful scene and ask her to select any Islamic channel. She and her husband welcome this suggestion, but not all the people like them. Really, TV is a great Fitnah and many scholars call it a two-edged weapon

May Allah guide us to the right path
