The answer

It is permissible to subscribe to scientific channels if the fees paid for the subscription service enable the beneficiary to watch what is permissible and avoid what is not, and if the subscription fees are not itemized, because other channels are not intended by the contract, and what is overlooked in the subordinate is not overlooked in the principal. However, it is necessary to avoid watching impermissible channels. But if the subscription fees are itemized, such as if the company stipulates the purchase of a package of scientific channels and a package of movie channels together, then it is not permissible to subscribe, because it is not permissible to spend money on prohibited matters. It is also not permissible to decrypt scientific channels because it involves infringing upon the rights of the media company.
