Question
Assalamualaikum. I am a Journalist and heading an News Television
channel. my viewers are demanding to air sexual health related
programs during night times. As a follower of Islam can i permit to
air such programs in the television?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
MuhammadisHis slave and Messenger.
Achieving sexual health issomething required and it is permissible to
aim to achieve it like any other objective which the people need among
the objectives that benefit them in their religion and their life.
As for airing programs about sexual health, thenthe ruling about it
differsfrom one case to another. If the content ofthese programs are
scientific and beneficial, and it does not include prohibitions that
are greater than its benefits – like showing forbidden scenes or
inciting desires,the thing that may cause temptation and spread it
amongst the Muslims, then it is permissible to broadcast them on the
channels and teaching them to the people like all other programs that
benefit the individual and the whole society.
But if the content of these programs includes the prohibitions that we
have mentioned, and its harms are greater than its benefits, then it
is not permissible for you to permit broadcasting them to the people,
as the objective of the Sharee'ah is to repel harms and reduce them
and achieve benefits and complete them.
Allaah Knows best.
