The answer

A Muslim is keen on preserving their time because they will be held accountable for it on the Day of Judgment, especially for their youth, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Two blessings in which many people are deceived: health and free time," and "The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about four: about his life and how he spent it, and about his youth and how he wore it out." Wasting time on satellite channels that do not build but rather corrupt and do not rectify, including sports channels that contain forbidden scenes, is considered a loss. A Muslim should turn away from idle talk and preserve their time, as stated in the description of the believers: "And when they hear idle talk, they turn away from it."
