Watching TV Shows or Movies Containing Women Without Hijab

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu waRahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

 

Watching TV shows or movies containing nudity (and propagating vices) is haram; for we are accountable for all of our actions including what we see, hear, speak or do:

 

“On that Day when their tongues and hands and feet will bear witness against them by [recalling] all that they did!” (An-Nur 24:24).

 

“And never concern thyself with anything of which thou hast no knowledge: [45] verily, [thy] hearing and sight and heart – all of them – will be called to account for it [on Judgment Day]!” (Al-Israa 17: 36)

 

Therefore, we ought to refrain from such frivolities.

 

While saying this, I am not offering a blanket ruling against watching TV or movies altogether; for these are powerful media for promoting virtue and education; therefore, it is like any medium, the goodly use of it is good, whereas the wrong use is sinful.

 

A Muslim before venturing on any task may do well to ask: Is this something I will have to give the account before my Lord on the Day Judgment?

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
