Movies (dvd's & vcr tapes)

Yes-Me and my family stopped watching t.v completley a year ago
Me and my sister took the t.v out,got a hammer and broom
Went to the garbage in the back of our house
And BANG!smashed the t.v and it broke
It felt good
We were so upset
My father always says the t.v as shaitans written all over it
But yeh get rid of the t.v or 4 starters fet rid of the non-islamic movies
Block out the music this is what me and my family did and then we slowly stopped

well any way we were thinking to use the money towards our new home Insha allah but what about knowing about what's going on around you as far as having the tv for the news?

I think tv becomes haraam when u use it to watch haraam things...
but i will double check inshallah, ill look up a hadith or fatwa on it

aa
get rid of tv? if u use tv in a good way...isnt it ok? as in i watch islam channel a lot...wts the point of breakin it like

As long as none of the programs you watch dont break the shari'ah law it is ok.

Televisions and its like, such as screens of computers, that display numerous programs are not haram in themselves, but what is haram is showing programs that go against the shari`ah, such as showing women who are dressed and undressed, the drinking of alcohol, relations of love and intimacy that are against the shari`ah, and singing that is accompanied by haram music. Showing all of these things is haram and so is looking at them.

As for programs that don’t contain any of these forbidden things, it is not haram to show them, nor to look at that them, especially if there is religious benefit in it, such as lessons from the sirah and the like. Or even if there is worldly benefit such as programs about culture and thought that have a purpose. It is best for a Muslim to act with wisdom as much as he can to keep his children from being attached to the television, because it is obvious that its evil is widespread and its corruption is far worse than its benefits and that most of it is not free of the haram.

What could be worse for Muslims and their homes than television? For the limits of its evil are not just showing morally depraved pictures, but rather it carries something very dangerous for the youth and others which cultivates blameworthy character and belittles the gravity of disobedience by way of showing things like television series [s. such as sitcoms, soap operas and reality shows] and western and eastern movies. And Allah is the helper and only through Him is success for the best of states, Glorious is He.

Either sell it all, or give it to a charity shop.

Have a garage sale or give it away to someone or best idea get a box put all the stuff inside, tape it shut and throw it in the attic/basement along with the other junk and thats that !!!
