The questioner : Perhaps the time can be focused on; if he returns to his family, it can be on my two pictures.
The Shaykh : If the acceptance of the Hajj depends on this photography, then it is permissible, do you understand? I say if the acceptance of the Hajj depends on this photography, then it is permissible, and if it does not depend on it, then it is forbidden. And what do you say? Yes.
