straight after salat

[PBUH]

as-salam alaikum

can i ask after one has prayed their salat, and immediately or shortly after watches tv or a video does their salat count ?

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam



Counted and perfomed are different. Allàh will accept deeds that are righteous from whom he wills, and may reject them with or without reason from whom he wills.


That is why we must engage ourselves, in ‘ibàdah, all the time, so that we may build such a great tower of deeds, that if one is accepted by him, it may act as a means for the acceptance of our other righteous deeds. But where we have righteous deeds and lets say T.V. then is it really worth it? It only takes one brick to be removed and the whole tower comes crashing down. Besides T.V. has nothing these days save misguidance and evil.

However, to keep yourself upto date with educational documentaries, news, which is also important in this day and age, and there are no other means, it is permissible, so long as the T.V. is not abusing your time.


And Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) knows best !
