Jamia Binoria was asked that what is the ruling of coming on TV for preaching as previously some scholars prohibited it? And why internet & computer is allowed for Dawah and TV is not?
Mufti said that in Media and TV Channels the evil is greater than the goodness, even if the program based on good message the advertisements contain vulgar ads and trailers which makes it not suitable for Dawah and preaching.
On comparison of computer and TV mufti said that internet and computer is in the hands of the one who is using it, it depends on him what he watches and see. While on TV man has no control on what is being shown, so they should not be compared.
Many other scholars like Zakir Naik has overcome this problem by launching his own dawah channels which airs Islamic lectures and programs 24/7 in multiple languages such as English, Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Chinese and many more.
