He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, doctors need television filming, and that is to monitor the condition of patients during critical operations. Is that considered among the forbidden types of image-making?
The Shaykh:
If dire necessity calls for filming, it is permissible due to the necessity. The prohibited thing becomes permissible if dire necessity calls for filming for a driver’s license, a passport, or a driving permit, or for a patient to have his illness examined. This is permissible due to the necessity.

In it is carrion. Carrion. Death, and no food is eaten from the dead.
