What is the ruling on following news about Korean artists only, without listening to or following their works?
Part of complete repentance is to cut off from the news of those who spread vice, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient." Furthermore, the Fatwa Council has clarified that lewd magazines propagate immorality and wickedness, and that working in news related to actors and singers is impermissible because it promotes frivolity, spreads discord, and aids in sin. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
