The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on photography with a video camera? And how do we respond to the claim that you have permitted it by appearing on television and on Al-Majd channel?
The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah, I have permitted this. As for appearing, I did not appear, but they came and attended in the mosque, and they filmed the lecture and the attendees. They are the ones who did this without permission and without consultation. I did not permit this, nor did I agree to it, not even. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it correct to say that al-Busayri.
The Shaykh:
These are the ones who film Ibn Baz, may Allah forgive him, and he does not agree with this and warns against it. They come to the gatherings and the assemblies and take his picture, and it appears on television. Does this mean that Shaykh Ibn Baz permitted photography? Far from it, and no. He died saying that photography in all its forms is forbidden. Yes.
