What is the ruling on keeping a SIM card from a telecommunications provider that declares its hostility to the hijab, funds projects of corruption and indecency, and seeks to combat religiosity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim must avoid watching this type of channel and keep their family away from it. They should also strive to stop this evil by educating people, supporting religious channels, attempting to guide the channel owner and invite them to Islam, and submitting requests to official authorities to shut it down. As for the "share" or "slice": if it refers to a mobile SIM card that leads to supporting the channel owner, then it is not permissible to deal with him. If it refers to the "slice" or "segment" of the channel that broadcasts the films, then it must be destroyed.
