Is it permissible to make a TV table?
The ruling on the table on which a television is placed branches from the ruling on the television itself and the ruling on selling it. If it is known that the buyer will use the television for permissible matters, then there is no harm in selling it to him. However, if it is certain or highly probable that he will use it to watch what is forbidden, then it is not permissible to sell it to him. Given the prevalence of forbidden broadcasts on television and people's disregard for limiting its use to the permissible, it is deemed impermissible to manufacture and sell such tables and all tools that aid in committing forbidden acts. We advise you to pursue another profession that is free from doubt. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
