Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to watch a lecture via video, or is it a forbidden image as well?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Allah has not made us in need of images and recorded lectures. Lectures are available on tapes without any filming, and there are many of them, praise be to Allah. So you can buy lectures from the lectures of the scholars of knowledge and benefit from them, and they contain no images and nothing else, just tapes.
