What is the ruling on watching comedic plays while avoiding segments that contain immodestly dressed women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim is responsible for his hearing, sight, and heart, and he should only intend good with what he hears and sees. Comedy plays are often not free from objectionable elements such as music, obscene language, lies, or women who are dressed yet appear naked. Therefore, it is not permissible to watch them unless they are free from these prohibitions.
