What is the ruling on displaying advertisements that are incompatible with Quranic verses being recited simultaneously on television screens, and what is the ruling on the public watching such channels?
Undoubtedly, glorifying the Quran and protecting it from profanity is imperative, and every act that contradicts this is forbidden, including hanging Quranic verses in places of amusement or writing them on furnishings. If Quranic verses are recited during the display of inappropriate advertisements, this is forbidden due to the transgression against the Quran, and it must be denounced by contacting those responsible for the channel or by refraining from watching it. It is also necessary to warn against watching such satellite channels if they contain any religiously prohibited elements, such as the exposure of 'awrah (private parts) or music.
