Is it permissible to repair and sell televisions and satellite receivers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to sell or rent anything to someone who is known or thought to use it for disobedience, as this is considered aiding in sin and aggression. The Quran forbids cooperation in sin and aggression, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed ten categories of people related to intoxicants, which indicates the prohibition of any action that leads to sin. Accordingly, selling and repairing televisions and satellite dishes are originally forbidden due to their predominant use in unlawful activities.
