The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our workplace, it is sometimes required to photograph violations. This includes photographing the individuals involved. We print these photos for work purposes to document the violation. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
For what purposes?
The questioner:
For work purposes. Work, yes.
The Shaykh:
If this is for security purposes to control crimes and criminals, then it is a valid purpose. Otherwise, no; it is controlled by means other than photography. Yes.
