Is it permissible to subscribe to satellite channels while deleting inappropriate channels and keeping only Al Majd and Quran channels?
Scholars have differed concerning the ruling on receiving encrypted channels without a subscription. Some have prohibited it, considering it an infringement on private property rights. Others have permitted it, arguing that it is not their right to conceal knowledge. Some have detailed the ruling, permitting it for personal use but not otherwise. However, the fatwa we rely upon is an absolute prohibition.
