Due to the fact that many extremely harmful programmes and some beneficial programmes are all aired in the name of Islam, is it at all permissible to

Answer

It is not permissible to listen to even the ‘beneficial’ programmes of these stations. Their harm is more than the little ‘good’ they lay claim to. According to the Qur’aan Majeed, liquor and gambling too have advantages. Inspite of the benefits in these evils, the Qur’aan strictly prohibits them. Any form of support for these haraam radio stations is haraam.
