Image-making with a video camera and what is excepted for dire necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that image-making is forbidden because there is evidence for that. Is there an exception to this regarding image-making with a video camera?

Answer:
Come, all image-making is forbidden except what is permitted for the sake of dire necessity, for the sake of dire necessity, such as a photo for personal identification, a passport, and photography for study, where they do not accept you without a photo. This is documentation. This type of documentation is permissible for dire necessity, because if you did not do it, you would not be able to fulfill the need that you require. Yes.
