Working in repairing radios and TV sets

535

Q: Is it permissible to repair radios, cassette recorders, and TV sets? Will a technician who repairs these sets be called before Allah to account for the programs broadcast on these sets? It should be noted that many such programs are unlawful yet some of them are very useful.

A: Some of the materials transmitted through these sets are unlawful and some are lawful, yet most of these sets are used in watching unlawful materials as we notice in reality.Subsequently, a Muslim should avoid working in repairing or manufacturing these sets because their evil is far greater than their benefits. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
