Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about those images in the hadith, we see various types of cameras in some mosques for filming lectures and other things. Does this fall under the hadith?
Answer:
This is not established. This statement is about fixed and hanging images. Do you see fixed and hanging images in the mosques? No. This is filming. This is called filming, and it is not fixed. The sin is on the one who does it. Yes.
