What is the ruling on one who brought a television set into his home and then died? Is he considered to have deceived his children, as was stated by one of the scholars? And what is the ruling on the presence of channels such as Al Jazeera, Iqraa, and Spacetoon?

Introducing a television into the home is permissible if its use is restricted to beneficial programs, religious lectures, and useful news. However, if it is left for children to use freely in whatever Satan entices them to do, then that is forbidden, and its owner is considered to be deceiving his flock and assisting them in wrongdoing. Furthermore, television channels often broadcast content that is impermissible to watch or listen to, and therefore, one must be cautious of their evil while benefiting from their good.
