The ruling on registering at a university that requires photographic images of female students
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Breastfeeding is only from the place of suckling.” And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Baqarah 2:233] In the hadith, it is said that only that which opens the intestines and occurs before weaning is forbidden by breastfeeding. How do we ignore all these hadiths? And we take a specific hadith in a specific case?
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This is a female questioner who says: I am a student and I want to continue my university studies, but the university in this city requires photographic images for the acceptance of female students. What is the ruling on registering at this university?
The Shaykh:
Photographing girls and photographing women is a greater trial, a greater trial, and it is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity. Is study a dire necessity? Is study a dire necessity? If it is not a dire necessity, if there is a need for photography, it is permissible for the sake of dire necessity.[Al-An'am 6:119] Yes.
