Filming the washing of the deceased, praying over him, and displaying it in films

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some Islamic details that are sold in fatwa certificates contain much of the washing of the deceased and praying over him, and that is in reality, and that is a real man, as for their saying if they convey good to the people

Answer:
I hold that these films that are filmed are not permissible to make because they are images, because they are images, and it is not permissible to film the souls of the dead and display them to people. Also, the Muslims did not need this matter, praise be to Allah. People bury their dead, wash their dead, and pray over them before these scenes and these films and these recordings existed. People, praise be to Allah, know this and follow it, and they can improve these actions better than what is filmed and recorded. They know it, praise be to Allah, and they become familiar with it through experience, teaching, and observation, so there is no need for these matters.
