Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on using a video camera, especially since it is beneficial in the path of calling people to Allah, encouraging them, and urging them to give charity and spend, or in explaining the types of harm the enemies inflict on Muslims, which stirs up the resolve of Muslims when they see these images?
Answer:
No, the call to Allah has never been done by exposing [the truth] since the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and before him by the messengers, and it does not employ what is forbidden or a forbidden means. Any forbidden means is not permissible to use, even if it is said to be for the call to Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
