Does uttering the name of a satellite channel called "Al-Hayat Mosalsalat" (Life of TV Series) constitute a form of polytheism or atheism, and what is the role of scholars regarding this name?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Merely uttering the name of this channel is not considered polytheism (shirk) or atheism (ilhad), as the phrase may carry several meanings, and the intention might be to promote the series shown on the channel, and to elevate its status to attract viewers. However, one should not utter this, due to the corrupt meanings it might imply. The role of Muslims and scholars is to adhere steadfastly to Allah's law and to invite people to it by every means, including launching satellite channels that educate people, correct misconceptions, spread awareness, refute fallacies, and offer the legitimate alternative.
