Is it permissible to watch non-conservative TV series, changing the channel when there is music or inappropriate scenes and then returning to them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is advised to avoid watching TV series due to their inclusion of forbidden scenes and sounds, coupled with the absence of any need for them, and Allah Almighty’s saying: "Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart - all of these will be questioned." Repeated exposure to forbidden things leads to normalizing sin and the diminishing of aversion to it in the heart. A Muslim should utilize their time in what benefits them in this world and the Hereafter.
