Are there any hadiths/verses that indicate a Muslim's approach to the media?
Is there any way of telling how the Muhammad (pbuh) would want us to treat the media in its entirety e.g. newspapers, TV shows etc. and are there any hadiths in the past that could be used similarly for us today e.g. skepticism? Thanks in advance

Is it haram to watch people kiss on TV?
I was sitting watching a movie with some of my friends and when the kissing scene came up I kind of looked away and didn't pay attention to it because I was raised that way.

I was sitting watching a movie with some of my friends and when the kissing scene came up I kind of looked away and didn't pay attention to it because I was raised that way. In my family we wouldn't watch movies with stuff like that, but descriptions aren't very accurate anymore and don't tell you everything. So if there was something happening that was unexpected we would cover our eyes.
I was sitting with some colleague friends from work, we are all Muslim, and a kissing scene was coming up and so I looked away and they made fun of me. I told them that it's haram to watch stuff like that, and on the day of judgement the eyes will say what they saw. They said that was stupid and told me to grow up. So I decided to ask.
Can someone please clarify?

Is watching animated cartoons allowed?
If the cartoon has an animated scene of kissing, can I watch it? Should my kids be allowed to watch cartoons? I know that making images is haraam in islam (90% of people don't follow that) but I also heard that videos are allowed, since they are stored in electromagnetic form. Is that correct?

Ãsak
Recently I heard a news in which one Turkish TV actor is invited to Pakistan for the mosque inauguration. As Mosque is a place of worship not a entertainment place to inaugurate with actors. And people of that place are happy to welcome him. The Prophet SAW said a time will come people will built beautiful and elegant mosques but their hearts will be empty, no faith will be left in them. I want to know whether is it a right thing or wrong to call TV actors for inauguration and advertising the mosque.

Is it Islamically okay to watch the new "Messiah" series on Netflix?
The messiah series shows the idea of Dajjal...and the realities revolving around it. Are Muslims supposed to stay away from such show or can they watch it gain some knowledge?

Tv shows depicting magic and superpowers
Is it okay to view tv shows/movie that include elements of **fictional** magic, myths and supernatural abilities?

Is it okay to view tv shows/movie that include elements of **fictional** magic, myths and supernatural abilities?
Note that, magic shown is by no means "**dark**" or implies anything contrary/offensive to Islam. By dark I mean the tv show by no means call upon the devils, jinns, etc etc. If it does happen, surely the tv show portrays it as evil and frames the person doing it as the villain.
In addition, the tv show I am referring to enforces a lot of Islamic values such as respecting and loving your family no matter what, seeing the good in people, sacrificing one's life for the sake of others...etc etc etc.

Asking this because a few months ago i was watching/a fan of a tv show which i now realize is haram (few curse words, some inappropiate scenes). I'm saying “realize” because i used to watch it (and stopped Alhamdulillah) but during that period i told my cousins to watch it, but they didn't seem to care. Then one day my cousin apparently decides to watch it and likes it. Now i fear his sins are on me.
My question is: would it be enough if i just tell them to stop with the sin without telling him it is actually haram?

Should we include TV shows or series in the definition of "idle talk"?
The phrase "idle talks" appears in this ayah; **“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]** In an article about music being haram it is mentioned that idle talks are used to distract from the Qur'an and there were p...
The phrase "idle talks" appears in this ayah;
**“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]**
In an article about music being haram it is mentioned that idle talks are used to distract from the Qur'an and there were people in Makkah telling stories about Roman kings and they were works of kafirs. Source
So my question is, should we include tv shows or series into this idle talk definition or not?

Is it haram for me to watch the rest of the seasons or the movie even though I never intended to listen or watch those things and I hide it, skip it or close my eyes when the bad scene comes and I seek Allah's forgiveness too?
