Following satellite channels that spread indecency and deviant thoughts is forbidden, based on verse 19 of An-Nur. Everything that assists in watching these channels, such as selling receivers or decryption cards, is also forbidden. Jurists have considered that every sale of something forbidden is a void sale, and this applies to the sale of cards related to these channels.
