Image-making of living beings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 3: We go with a group of young men on a recreational trip, and then some of them, who have a video camera, film the people present. Afterwards, the film is shown and watched. There may be a lesson or something else during the trip. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in your view regarding this matter? May Allah guide you
with His guidance.
A 3: It is not permissible to make images of living beings, neither by means of a video camera nor by any other means, due to the generality of the texts prohibiting image-making and the severity of the warning against it, and because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who does it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
