What is the ruling on women watching movies and TV series that contain only women, while averting the gaze when the awrah appears and muting the sound when music is present?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prohibitions regarding movies and TV series are not limited to the appearance of awrah (private parts) and the presence of musical instruments. Rather, they also include promoting indecency, lying, and deviant ideas. Anything that falls into this category is not permissible to watch.
