Many people are lax about image-making, so what is your advice?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, many people are lax about image-making, especially with video and mobile phones, and some of them display the characteristics of goodness, so what is your advice, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
This is undoubtedly a trial. Satan always urges people toward trials, presents the most dangerous things, and entices people with them. So this is among the works of Satan. People’s rush into image-making and their heedlessness regarding its prohibition and its consequences is part of Satan’s whispering to them.
So it is obligatory for a person to be aware of these matters. He has no need for image-making or for images. However, if he is compelled to have an image, the scholars have issued a ruling permitting what removes the dire necessity, such as photographing a person for a personal ID card, photographing for a passport, or photographing in accidents to prove crimes in order to identify the criminal. These are necessary matters, and anything beyond that is not needed. Yes.
