What is the ruling on anime that violates Sharia if I strive to skip the parts that violate it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Prohibition is only decreed when its cause is present, and rulings revolve with their underlying reasons, both in existence and non-existence. Therefore, watching videos that are free from Sharia prohibitions is not forbidden, even if such prohibitions are found in others. If a person can avoid seeing or hearing what is forbidden, then there is no harm in following what is permissible. It is preferable to adopt the principle of "blocking the means" by choosing what is completely free from Sharia prohibitions.
