The Ruling on Filming the Imam and Broadcasting the Prayer via Channels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on filming the imam while he is leading the people in the obligatory prayer or the tarawih prayer, under the pretext of the beauty of his voice, so that it is broadcast via satellite channels? Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is a problematic issue, but if it is a mere transmission, the matter is different. The mere transmission of the prayer of the two Holy Mosques is lighter, otherwise it is all a type of imitation. But the transmission that ends when the prayer ends, or when the lesson ends, is more correct, or when the episode ends, yes.
