Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman asks and says: A custom has appeared among some families in weddings where they bring a book and place a picture of the groom and bride in it, and they ask the women present to write a memento in this book, a writing. A memento. And when I refused to write, they forced me and described me as being extreme, so what is the ruling on this act? And is it from the custom of the Christians in their churches?
Answer:
This is from the actions of the forbidden because image-making is forbidden. Image-making in itself is forbidden and a major sin among the major sins. Image-making of a woman who is adorned and may be uncovered. This is another evil. Another evil. And this is an innovation of a custom that was not among the customs of the Muslims. So this act is not permissible. And you are right in your disapproval, even if they were angry with you or yes.
