Are there any permissible means of da'wah (calling others to Islam): recording lectures via video and distributing them to people?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are there any permissible means of da'wah (calling others to Islam) such as recording lectures via video and distributing them to people?

Answer:
This is subject to the prohibition of image-making. Now, are we to make a forbidden means for da'wah (calling others to Islam)? We do not make a forbidden means for da'wah (calling others to Islam). Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade image-making and threatened those who do it with the most severe warning. And there are permissible means that suffice in place of image-making, praise be to Allah. Yes.
