Images of Women in Newspapers and Advertisements
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this, my brother, brought a clipping from the Riyadh magazine, as if it were the Riyadh magazine.
Another questioner:
He put it on.
The questioner:
It contains a picture of a woman’s private parts sitting on a sofa, and written on it is: “I am always happy. Usually, due to my good choice of high-quality furniture for my home, and I came with this picture as care, meaning?”
The Shaykh:
This happens often, and it is among the prohibitions; images are prohibited from photographing women, but they are confused about mentioning fashions and mentioning broadcasters, then they photograph the rain, for the sake of what you heard in the seminar, for the sake of selling goods, and they swear by Allah, the Shaytan, this is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). We must warn, if Allah wills, time after time. We ask Allah to guide them all. We ask Allah to guide the authorities so that they punish them. Women need punishment; if they are not punished, they will not repent. Punishment is necessary. Yes.
The questioner:
We called by phone, may Allah reward you with good, and we told him: Do you still put this picture in the newspaper in al-Jazirah?
The Shaykh:
May Allah help you.
The questioner:
Good, and finally, they issued a colored picture after that.
The Shaykh:
Whoever feels safe from punishment behaves badly and acts badly, and may Allah grant the state success in punishing them.
