TV is Haraam.
Animate images are portrayed. Even if these animate images are termed, Islamic entertainment, they remain Haraam.

1. TV refer below.
2. The Ahaadith of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) clearly declares the prohibiting music. In one such Hadith, Rasululullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, Allah ordered me to destroy musical instruments. Kindly refer attached.
3. Mullah Ali Qari (R.A) has commentated that plucking of the facial hair is haraam (prohibited) for a woman with the exception of moustache or beard hairs, if any woman is unfortunate enough to be troubled by these. (Mirqaat Vol.8 Pg.295; Ashrafiyyah).
However, if the eyebrows have become so dense that it is unseemly for a woman and incites abhorrence in her husband, it is permissible to trim it to a more appropriate and normal size. (Ahsanul Fataawa Vol.8 pg.76; Zakariyya Book Depot)

Watching tv is not permissible due to the following factors:
1. Pictures of animate objects
2. Voice of women and music
3. Nudity
4. Waste of time
5. Stops a person from Dhikr and other virtuous acts
6. Inculcates western lifestyle in a person
7. Removes Hayaa (modesty)
8. Harms the body permanently
Is Jihad Fardh on every single (Male) Muslim in UK (considering the fact that the majority of the Muslims don't even perform their 5 times daily salaah - an immediate Fardh ???
1. Is Jihad Fardh on every single (Male) Muslim in UK (considering the fact that the majority of the Muslims don't even perform their 5 times daily salaah - an immediate Fardh - and no effort has been, nor is being, made to improve their Imaan)? 2. What is the ruling for having an Islamic TV channel to combat other channels (like the Qadianiyyah) claiming to be that of Muslims. My point is that since watching TV is haraam, how can one be justified in using evil to repel evil (baatil), something which can only be destroyed by good (haqq)? People do not seem to realise that Islaah (correction) of the Ummah will only happen through the method adopted by our salaf as-saaliheen (in the khayr al-quroon).

1. The decree of Jihaad is a major issue involving the Ulama at large. It does not behove one person to issue the decree. Issues of such magnitude must be addressed by a group of competent and leading Ulama and Muftis. However, we do agree on the emphasis of Salaat and also becry the neglect of the Ummah towards Salaat. If we become practical Muslims, non-Muslims will enter into Islam though our example. This is how Islam initially spread the strength of Imaan and good character. Muslims need to build on that once again.
2. We also concur with you on this point. Imaam Maalik (RA) stated, The latter part of this Ummah cannot be reformed until it does not adopt the ways adopted by the pious predecessors.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
