The Ruling on Obeying a Manager Regarding Group Photography for Souvenirs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the manager of a government department orders group photography for the sake of souvenirs, is it permissible to obey him or should he be rebuked?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to obey him. It is obligatory to refute him based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
. Souvenirs, not souvenirs. Yes.
