(Fatwa: 530=527/B)
(1) Television is a tool of entertainment and amusement. It is the root cause of evil and obscenity. It has taken the place of cinema. Therefore, the business of such tools is highly undesirable (makrooh-e-tahreemi).
(2) Giving Dars-e-Quran and listening to it on television is desecration of the Holy Quran. It amounts to equate its commandments with fun and entertainment. And, it is the objective of the Jews and the Christians.
(3) This is also degradation of Ulama and religious speeches.
(4) It is not right. Later, they start watching prohibited programmes and get habitual of it.
(5) No, this way of preaching Islam is not right.
(6) If there is some important, misleading and dangerous belief spreading then the Ulama can come on television in order to defend it in a state exigency.
