I am planning to open a lodge/guest house. Is it permissible to keep TV in the rooms?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 1083/1083/M=11/1436)
At present TV is an equipment of amusement and play. Most of its channel and programmes include immodesty, nudity and illegal pictures which is not lawful to watch as per the Shariah. Hence it is not lawful to install TV in rooms.
Allah knows Best!
