What is the ruling on watching satellite channels via a dish connection derived from another house, and is it permissible to implore the owner of the house to change it to a normal dish with a permissible subscription, and is the viewer sinful when opening these channels and enjoying beneficial religious programs?
The satellite dish is a tool that can be used for beneficial purposes, with the obligation to protect one's family from its harms. If the owner of the dish grants permission for its use, it is permissible to benefit from it by watching useful channels free from corruption, and corrupt channels must be avoided. One should strive to convince the head of the household to cooperate in keeping corruption away from the home.
