What is the ruling on bringing a receiver with 30 Islamic channels into the home to benefit from them, given previous fatwas against bringing such devices, and does the ruling change after the Islamic visual revolution?
It is recommended to encourage watching reliable Islamic channels that promote Islamic knowledge, such as Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen's channel and Al-Majd Al-Ilmiyya, provided they are free from Sharia violations and feature callers to Islam from among the Sunnis. It should be emphasized that some scholars' prohibition of introducing satellite channels into homes was at a time when there were no committed Islamic channels. The situation has changed with the emergence of Islamic channels where the truth is proclaimed, which is what Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him, wished for. It is also advised to organize time to make the most of the educational programs offered on these channels.
