Is it permissible for a woman to listen to anasheed (Islamic vocal music) in which men appear frequently? Is it permissible for her to look at non-mahram men, and what are the limits of that? Is someone who brings a television into his home considered a dayyuth (one who lacks protective jealousy over his female kin)? And how can the problem of anasheed singers appearing with exaggerated handsomeness on Islamic channels be addressed, and is this criticism valid?

A woman listening to men chanting is permissible, provided she does not fear temptation from them, just as her looking at them is permissible, provided the men are covering their 'awrah (private parts), and there is no suspicion or lust.

As for television, it is beneficial for those who can control its use, limiting it to what is useful and avoiding evil. It is recommended to set an educational program for your family, encourage them to memorize the Holy Quran and read books on encouragement and deterrence (Targhib and Tarhib), biographies (Siyar), and stories of the pious predecessors (Salaf), and to use channels that help with Quran memorization, or audio and video tapes. Also, seek out committed sisters for your wife to sit with and feel comfortable with. Engaging a woman in what is beneficial is better than prohibiting her from something which, if prohibited, you fear she might become more attached to.
