The Ruling on Photographing Parties and Displaying Them for Profit

Question:
A shop owner has a situation. The owner of a bedding shop wants to advertise the parties he hosts and put pictures in an album to show to customers to entice them. Is this permissible? Knowing that the pictures contain human beings, and is it permissible to enlarge them and display them to the people?

Answer:
This is haram (forbidden). All of this is haram: photographing the parties with the people listening, enlarging and developing them, displaying them to people, and making them a means of earning a living. All of this is haram and not permissible. As for the pictures themselves being forbidden, it is not permissible to keep them, nor to display them, nor to make them a means of earning a living. All of this is haram. Or the one who insists on photography, who takes pictures and opens a photography shop, all of this is not permissible. Except for the necessary pictures that we mentioned; these are considered due to the dispensation (rukhsah) in them and the necessity of them, as they were not taken out of love for the pictures, but rather out of necessity. As for pictures of parties, this is not permissible. It falls under aiding in the prohibition and the warning. But if his intention is to earn a living with them, this is even more strictly forbidden.
This is more severe. If it is developed into video, it is even more severe with films. So this becomes more severe. This is forbidden with a severe prohibition.
