Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 492/484=D)

(1) TV is a tool of amusement, the programme which are presented on TV are mostly containing indecent and obscene materials; therefore it is not right for your brother to work in the same. He should try to look any other source of income.

 (2) What do you mean by Islamic channel? What types of programme are presented over there? Please, explain in detail then we will a say in the matter.
