Fadak Satellite Channel (Arabic: قناة فدك الفضائية) is a Shia channel was founded by Yasser Al-Habib.
Programming
The channel broadcasts a series of ethical lectures titled “Developing the Future Trait,” as well as revival lectures such as “Liberating the Shia Muslim.” The channel also features hawza lectures on al-Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah (i.e. methodology of fiqh), Ilm al-Dirayah (i.e. the study of transmission of Hadith), Ilm al-Riwayah (i.e. the study of Hadith), Ilm al-Rijal (i.e. science of men), and a variety of different series of lectures by English, Arabic, French and Persian speakers. The channel is known for its use of defamation towards religious and historic characters. Founder and presenter Yassir Al-Habib emphasizes the claim that Mohammed's wife Aiysha was an immoral woman who had committed adultery. He publicly accused Omar bin Al=Khattab, the historic conqueror of Persia, of homosexuality. Many Shia scholars and followers have denounced his extreme approach, claiming most of his resources are not trusted.
Controversy
Founder Yasser Al-Habib is based in London today.[2] He fled Kuwait in 2004 due to allegations of blasphemy against the Caliphs Omar and Abu Bakr, which Kuwaiti authorities claim stirred sectarian tensions in the country.[3] According to KUNA, the Kuwait news agency, Habib's Kuwaiti citizenship has withdrawn on the grounds of "profaning religious symbols and trying to spread discord and division in Kuwaiti society resulting in sectarian strife."[4] Al-Habib has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia.
Support
The Fadak Satellite Channel is closely connected to the Khoddam al-Mehdi organization, which Yasser Al-Habib founded.
Availability
The Fadak Satellite Channel is currently available on Hotbird and Galaxy 19.
