My question:
Shall she just buy a television so that her husband stays with her at home? As she spends the whole day alone while her husband as away.
Praise be to Allaah.
Playing football (soccer)
may be permissible or it may be haraam, depending on whether the player
adheres to shar’i guidelines or goes against them. This has been explained
in the answer to question no. 3633,
84291 and
75644.
A wise person should not
keep busy with playing it or watching it, even if it is permissible, because
time is a man’s capital, and undoubtedly the husband’s being busy with that
and staying out of the house because of it, is a shortcoming and negligence,
because time is too precious to waste, so how can he waste it on something
that brings no benefit? It would be better for him to take care of his
family and try to make them happy.
As for bringing a TV into
the home, we do not advise that, because of its obvious bad effects. See
question no. 3633.
It seems that this
husband’s problem is not limited to the lack of a TV. He needs many things
to encourage him to stay home. The wise wife should look for ways to make
her husband want to stay home, such as treating him well, taking care of
him, adorning herself, looking for common interests, and so on.
We should also advise this
sister to make good use of her time in things that will benefit her
religious and worldly affairs, such as memorizing Qur’aan, attending
halaqahs and lectures, learning some skills and doing housework. This is
better for her than bringing in a TV which will attract her to things that
Allaah has forbidden.
And Allaah knows best.
