Summary
Entertainment is generally permissible as long as it does not breach the limits of Islamic law. Media content such as acting, singing or sketches that contains elements leading to incest and arouses desire is forbidden. A child acting as the husband with obscene scenes can cause public discord and may lead to adultery or incest, and the intention of humour or entertainment does not make it lawful because the end does not justify the means.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, setiap kandungan yang dipaparkan dalam media massa sama ada berupa lakonan, nyanyian, sketsa dan sebagainya yang mengandungi unsur-unsur ke arah sumbang mahram serta membangkitkan syahwat adalah haram.
