Is anything required of me to enter a cinema and watch a film without paying, and what is the ruling on this action?
It is impermissible to pay an entrance fee for the cinema. Whatever money you do not pay them for watching films is unlawful for them, and you do not own it; rather, its expenditure is for the benefit of the Muslims. Therefore, you must give the due amount as charity to the poor and needy among the Muslims.
