The Ruling on Photography with a Video Camera
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or he seeks a tree of image-making with a video camera to support motivation and listening.
Answer:
There is no doubt; rather, it is more severe, because image-making with a camera is more severe than image-making by hand, because image-making by hand may vary, but image-making with a camera is an exact copy of the size, shape, and color, so it is more severe. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make an exception; he generalized the prohibition of image-making absolutely, and did not exclude one type of image-making from another. So the one who claims, the one who claims an exception for some types, must present evidence for what he says. Yes.
