Non-maḥrams’ Pictures and Films: Is Watching Satellite and Gulf State TV Channels Permissible?
English:
Question #1177:
What is the view on watching satellite programs? And is it permissible for the people living in the provinces neighboring the Gulf States to watch those states’ television stations?
Answer #1177:
Programs broadcast via Western satellite television stations and those of most neighbouring countries teach misleading thoughts and misrepresentations. They also contain lahw and corrupt items and watching them often leads to corruption, going astray and committing ḥarām acts. So, it is not permissible to access these channels to watch the programs they broadcast.
