Question

Please what is the Islamic ruling with regards to watching films?

Answer

All our ulama of the past declared this to be a waste of time, a cause of corruption, and a combination of haraam activities, like music, animate pictures, viewing males and females, etc. If this does not destroy the heart and corrupt the mind then what will?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
