Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, these are questions from a number of students in Qur'an memorization circles. They say: Allah has blessed us with the memorization of the Book of Allah, and we applied to the Al-Khairiyyah Society for the Memorization of the Noble Qur'an in Riyadh for the test next week. They asked us to bring personal photos. The question is: Is it permissible for us to bring them photos? And is that a necessity?
Answer:
If you are unable to seek knowledge except through photography, then this is a necessity. Do not abandon the seeking of knowledge; rather, this is a necessity for which photography is permissible. If your memorization of the Qur'an and your seeking of knowledge depend on your being photographed, then there is no harm in that. This is a necessity. Yes, do not deprive yourselves of education and the memorization of the Qur'an. Yes.
