What is the ruling on watching television during Ramadan and at other times? Does excessive viewing of immoral channels invalidate the fast? What is your advice to young people during Ramadan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The best advice for youth in Ramadan is to have piety towards Allah, which is the desired fruit of fasting, as Allah Almighty said: (O you who have believed, prescribed for you is fasting as it was prescribed for those before you that you may become righteous). Piety is achieved by performing commands and abstaining from prohibitions. Therefore, they should increase their acts of obedience and avoid what displeases Allah, such as forbidden words and actions. True fasting is the fasting of the limbs from what Allah has forbidden, in confirmation of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever does not give up false statements and evil deeds, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink."
