Is trading satellite receivers prohibited?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The majority of users of visual devices do not fear Allah in their use, making them a means to watch forbidden things, and few of them try to avoid what Allah has prohibited. Therefore, the default is that it is not permissible to trade in these devices, because doing so involves aiding in sin. Allah Almighty says: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). However, if the seller is certain that he is selling them to someone who fears Allah and will use them for what is permissible, then the permissibility of the sale can be conceived, but this rarely happens. It is advisable to stay away from this work and seek work that is free from doubt, out of keenness for pure earnings. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect.
