Is watching religious programs that contain music in their intros a sin equal to drinking alcohol and wearing silk, and is selling the television an expiation for that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Listening to music is forbidden (). Anyone who needs a program that includes music can avoid it by muting the sound until it finishes. Sins are expiated by sincere repentance, and it is not a condition of repentance to sell the television, but rather to resolve not to use it for forbidden (haram) purposes.
