As-Salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullaah

Here is a link to two fatawa by Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee' al-Wadi'ee (rahimhullaah ta'ala)on the issue of the television:

I would have posted them both here but found they would be a little long so I have posted the links instead:

Question: These days the television and video exist which ruins the youth and causes division in their thinking and they become blind followers of the enemies of Islaam. So what is the way or how do we advise the people to avoid this devil (the T.V.), and what are the harms that are caused by this television?

Questiun: Some people, if you argue against them by mentioning the fact that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) prohibited the gaze (i.e. looking at members of the opposite sex who are not one's relatives), and likewise Allaah (glory be unto Him, the Most High) prohibited the gaze (at members of the opposite sex) in a verse (of the Qur'aan), the person does not consider the picture that he sees on the television to be the same as this form or image (of a woman) that he sees on the street, for example. He says (about the picture on TV), "This is just a picture."

Both of these questions have been translated by our brother Aqeel Walker
