Watching TV
Question
I’m not a Muslim but my mother in law is... I want to clarify if it is an Islamic teaching that watching tv or movies is evil?
Answer
It is not permissible. For further details, refer to http://m.muftionline.co.za/node/12190
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
