What is the ruling on someone who programmed a TV and loaded prohibited channels onto it, then deleted them, but fears that he might have missed one?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Watching forbidden channels is not permissible, nor is assisting in their viewing. However, if these channels appeared unintentionally and you deleted them, there is no sin upon you. You did well by deleting them. If you suspect that some remain, you can verify that all forbidden channels have been deleted.
