Filth on TV in a family home

[murad]

A.o.A

Just wondering how many of you guys have TVs at home if you live at home with your parents, wife or children ?

I am concerned that from the 1000 or so channels only around 5 or 10 or so are barely appropriate to watch.

While i am away working my wife and mother and kids are likely to spend time watching Pakistani/Indian Soaps which teach them nothing
but evil, cunning, love affairs, in the name of entertainment.

They are becoming so obsessed watching this filth that sometimes they argue with me when i want to change the channel to check the news or some animal
wildlife documentary.

Am i being extreme in wanting to remove the TV altogether ? There is literally no benefit to having a TV, the news and weather i can check on my phone. Even the so called Islam channel contains music and uncovered women from time to time. It does nothing to boost imaan thats for sure.

It is a like a slow-drip poison which makes us numb to greater degrees of nudity, evil and all sorts of filth.

Where do you guys draw the line in your household ?

[Abu julaybeeb]

[Stoic Believer]

I wouldn't have a TV either in my household.

As the head of the household with regards to your wife and kids then you should have the upperhand.

Also I think it depends on how much Islam is practiced by you and your family. Do they pray and observe hijab because if they do it should be slighlty easier to explain why you disagree with what they watch. Teach them.why if they do not know.

The other thing is if you do get rid of the TV people have access to all that stuff on their phones and laptops nowadays. If they know the reasons why they should avoid such stuff then they should not be tempted to watch on phones etc either. They need to have that fear of Allah swt.

Do dua for your family too and hope you find a solution.

Aside from sports, I would have no reason to have a tv in my future home. The problem with watching football is, the cameras tend to cut away between plays onto cheerleaders or fans(with women in the crowd)...which really, it's easy to just avoid staring at the tv once a play has ended until you hear them starting again.

[Kaas]

Remove it, even on the neas theres inaproptiate behavior and even on animal wildlife there will be music, theres very little benefit in tv

Even sports have men exposing their awrah whilst navel to the knees is supposed to be covered.

Take Football for example.

Most men think nothing of it

you tell people not to watch football
but argue for taking other than Allah as a legislator

get your priorities straight

Completely avoided the fact that watching men who expose their awrah for entertainment is not permitted, and went to your old mass Takfir mode, typical.

I explained this to you before, so instead of twisting what I said, why don't you say what I said?

1. I did not deny that allah عز و جل is the legislator.

2. A Kaafir is gonna rule over you, wether you vote or not.

3. The permissibility of voting lies with taking the above point into consideration and choosing the lesser of the Islamophobic kaafir to rule over you.

Yeah I was referring to Soccer,

جزاك الله خيرا

Aside from video games and sports, most people don't use TVs as much as before at least when it comes to traditional programing. Now people use Netflix or Chromecast, FireSticks, etc... And even if you remove the TV you could just go on your computer and do the same thing.

Soccer is so much better though...

Allah said legislation is only for Allah
so worship only him

if your helping the legislation of other than Allah
then your worshipping other than Allah
thats shirk

Allah said you wish to refer legislation to the taghut
when you was ordered to reject it

your not rejecting it your referring to it

ive brought daleel to show its impermissable which many scholars have also used when it comes to legislation

you bring daleel to say its permissable

not follow a shaykhs fatwa without daleel

i dont make mass takfir
and even if i did the number of people being takfirred on is not a condition of whether its permissable or not

We went through this several times, by your own argument your helping the kaafir by not voting and allowing him to legislate over you.

You keep repeating Allah عز و جل is the legislator like its supposed to be news.

Were talking about living under kaafir rule,

Your choice is to let any old kaafir legislate over you.

I agree with the permissibility to choose a less Islamophobic kaafir to rule.

Either way, your in the same boat.

You have serious comprehension issues, I gave you the benefit of doubt, but its clear that your a crazed Takfiri who ignores reality and the consequences of his own actions /inactions.

You did make mass Takfir by claiming its Shirk Akbar to vote.

The fact that you cant accept the consequences of your claims indicates some serious issues upstairs.

first of all we base whats permissable on daleel
aql comes after all this logic stuff is secondary


second of all you make no sense

your saying someone sitting down doing nothing wrong
who has the power to do nothing
is committing a sin


if thats the case then all the muslims in makkah were sinful for letting the quraysh rule the land with the pagan laws when the muslims resided in makkah

makes no sense of course not
and no aalim has ever saw what u said to refute voting being haram or shirk


second of all just because something is shirk
does not mean u have made mass takfir


look into takfir mutlaq and takfir muayn
matters of aslu deen
ma3loom minadeen biddaroorah
masaail khaffiya
masaail dhaahiriya

then youl understand
and stop taking matters of aqeedah from asharis
