How to spend the night instead of watching movies or shows
Question
Majority of the Ummah engages in watching TV, be it movies or shows or sports, at night. Kindly advise as to how this can be eradicated and what are substitutions that individuals and/or families can engage in at night.
Answer
Since you are in agreement that this is impermissible, at least start off at this point that you discourage people who are close to you or those who come under your influence to leave it out. Those who want to look for a substitute can find many things as substitutes. They can find kitaabs, they may engage in ibaadat, or do something that is going to be beneficial to them or people in general.
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.
