Abstract
Investigating the positive and negative effects of today's entertainment on the middle-aged from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence is a challenging and necessary issue due to the important changes that the personality of these people experiences at this age. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of entertainment and provide solutions from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence for their optimal use. The results of the research using the analytical descriptive method show that entertainment can help the middle-aged in solving crises such as better evaluation of the past and improving physical abilities. The positive effects of entertainment include relaxation, happiness, neglect of boring matters and discharge of disturbing emotions. According to jurisprudential teachings, entertainment should be halal and not prevent a person from his important goals; Also, entertainment should not lead to forbidden things and harm health. From the point of view of Islamic jurisprudence, engaging in halal entertainment is one of the basic components of a wise life, and not devoting time to it is not only an irrational and disgusting behavior, but it can also lead to neglecting religious duties and social responsibilities; Therefore, paying attention to legitimate and halal entertainment in the life of middle-aged people can be considered as a Shariah obligation in some cases.
