The Difference Between Photography and Video
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a difference between photography and video?
Answer:
There is no difference in that. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not distinguish between them; rather, he forbade all images by any means and did not make a distinction. Therefore, those who distinguish between them have no evidence for their position. This is merely their independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), and when independent legal reasoning contradicts the evidence, it is not to be heeded. Yes.
