The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A student of knowledge believes that image-making is forbidden in all its forms, including via video. His question is: Is there any sin on him if he attends the gatherings of some scholars who record their lectures or talks on video?
The Shaykh:
If the benefit outweighs the harm in this matter, then there is nothing wrong with it. He listens and looks in order to benefit.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. And this questioner says: A student of knowledge gets into disputes.
The Shaykh:
He listens in order to benefit and he disapproves of the image-making; that is what he approves of. Yes.
