The Ruling on Image-Making in Its Various Forms and Video Recording
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is image-making forbidden in all its forms, or is what is called video recording an exception to that?
Answer:
Making statues is forbidden and not permissible. As for photographic images, these are permissible out of necessity, such as for a passport or an identification card. This is permissible out of necessity because if you did not have them photographed, you would not obtain these documents with which you travel, and your affairs would be hindered. Therefore, image-making is permitted for these purposes only. Yes.
