What is the jurisprudential analysis of Islamic channels sharing their frequency with debauched channels, and is the founder of the Islamic channel responsible for this, and what are the implications?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Corrupt channels preceded Islamic ones in existence and funding. The presence of Islamic channels does not increase corruption; rather, it competes with it and offers a permissible and beneficial alternative. Therefore, falsehood should be confronted with its own weapon, a convincing alternative should be presented, and a call should be made to warn against the evil of the corrupt. Sharia is based on bringing about benefits and warding off evils. Committing the lesser of two evils is permissible to avoid the greater. The basic principle is the permissibility of selling and renting what can be used for both permissible and forbidden purposes. If it is possible to separate the frequency of beneficial channels from harmful ones, it becomes imperative to block the means [to evil].
