Are historical, Levantine, or old-time-period TV series, in which the attire is modest, unlawful in Islamic law?
What is presented in historical and other series contains many violations, including: distorting history by fabricating false events and exaggerating stories, portraying great personalities in a manner contrary to Islamic law, mixing of men and women, the presence of music, women's adornment and unveiling, some of them containing dancing, singing, and drinking alcohol, depicting the noble Companions, portraying the role of a disbeliever who carries a cross or insults the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, distracting Muslims and wasting their time, and inciting youth to lusts. These series are forbidden, and the prohibition becomes more severe with the abundance of Sharia violations in them.
