What is the ruling on buying and selling fake cards to decrypt encrypted satellite channels?
Following satellite channels that spread indecency and deviant thoughts is forbidden, based on verse 19 of Surah An-Nur. Everything that assists in watching these channels, such as selling receivers or decryption cards, is also forbidden. Jurists have considered that every sale of something forbidden is a void sale, and this applies to the sale of cards related to these channels.
