Image-making and photography studios

The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! We inform you that photography studios take large pictures and put them in frames, and display them on the facades of their shops. The matter does not end there; they also photograph young girls from now on,

The Shaykh:
This is not permissible, and the responsible party will be addressed regarding this, if Allah wills; because this is a matter that is not permissible. Sexual photography is forbidden for all animals. If he photographs from the shop’s window or in the council, this is also not permissible, whether men or women, all of it is intimate or dogs, all of it is not permissible, music.

The questioner:
This is widespread, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
And even if it is widespread, it is not an excuse, even if it is widespread. Yes. Yes, yes, abandoning prayer is widespread, and smoking and intoxicants are widespread, so it is not an excuse. The point is that the false actions of people are not an excuse, and it is obligatory to uphold the truth even if people abandon it.
