What is the ruling on publishing TV series – which contain immodest display but have beneficial content – on a website that displays Google AdSense advertisements, in order to increase profits?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Arabic and Turkish TV series include nudity, immodest display, and unlawful acts. Spreading them is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. It is not permissible to spread them even if their content is good, for seeking a decent livelihood does not justify making permissible what Allah has forbidden. Sufficiency with what is lawful is better than an abundance of what is unlawful, and whoever abandons something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better.
