Is it Permissible to Watch Cartoons? – Dr Zakir Naik

MIWPQA-20

Questioner: Assalamu Alaikum! Dr.! My name is Hisham Jaffar Ali, I wanted to ask you if we are allowed to watch cartoons?

Someone from the Audience: Excellent question!

Dr. Zakir: The brother’s asked a very good question on the topic that are we allowed to watch cartoons today the international survey they say the maximum damage that is done to any child is the satellite media on an average an American child sits 7 hours in front of the television more time than he goes to school. Most of the channels take him away from Islam including the cartoon channels, most of them. What you see there is so much of violence etc. so a person sees a violent movie regularly whether with it be a cartoon or other movies and he has a fight with his friend and he takes out the gun of his father & he kills his friend.

In Bombay there was a serial for the children somewhat similar to cartoon, called as ShaktiMaan, somewhat similar to superman, so one young child he jumped from his house, in a tall building, thinking ShaktiMaan, superman will come & save him. No one comes & saves him & he dies. And when an interview was taken of that father he said I could not imagine my son would jump. May be tomorrow your son or my son will jump. Therefore the impact of the media is so great that it blinds the person & it causes maximum damage to the children that’s why we have started a school in Bombay by the name of Islamic International School one of the criteria to get admission is that you should not have a cable TV in your house. No satellite TV, it’s a shaitaan. It’s a shaitaan. So people ask me then how will we watch Peace TV? Point no. 1 by watching Peace TV if you’re allowing hundreds of Shaitaan channels to come in your house; don’t watch any that is better. Let a small loss take place to prevent a big loss but we have made provision that if we have a special dish and a decoder you can only watch Peace TV & no other channel. So we’ll see to it that’s available even in the Middle East by a dish, investment of few thousand rupees or a few hundred dirhams, you don’t have to pay monthly whatever fees that you are paying out here or 200, 250 rupees monthly. Invest few thousand and all the people in the building can watch. Have one decoder and it will only catch Peace TV & no other channel. What we have we can’t create a vacuum, this is Haraam, this is Haraam, there should be a substitute. So we tell the parents of our school don’t watch cable TV but we’ve got 5000 tapes on Islam & comparative religion everyday if you watch 1 for 3 hours it will take you more than 13 years to complete the library. So by the time your son passes the school, or your daughter passes the school, everyday if you watch 1 yet you cannot complete the library and the next 13 years we may have 1 more 5000 InshaAllah...
