Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is what is called live broadcasting included in the ruling on forbidden image-making?
Answer:
Yes, and what would take it out of that? It is all image-making. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers; this is a general statement, a general statement. The one who excludes a type of image-making must have evidence for it. However, image-making is permitted out of dire necessity; there is nothing wrong with it out of dire necessity,[Al-An'am 6:119]. Dire necessity is not permissible [to be used as an excuse for other things], but as for what is not dire necessity, image-making is not permissible for hobby, for viewing, for such and such, it is not permissible, for memories, that is not permissible. Yes.
