Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Sami. He says: It has started to spread in some mosques an apparent expansion in filming some lectures and Qur'an memorization ceremonies with ordinary cameras and video cameras. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
As for filming, filming that is kept is not permissible. As for transmitting lectures and sermons, their live transmission, that may be easier. This is done in the two mosques, al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi: live transmission and live broadcasting that is not kept and put in boxes and preserved. There is nothing wrong with that. It is only during the time of worship, and it is broadcast to the people so they can watch and look at it. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
