Guidance for workers in the Haram regarding the separation of women and photography

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there any advice for the workers in the Haram to strive to keep women away from men in this place? Also, we noticed today that there is photography in the courtyard of the Sacred Mosque from the inside. What is your guidance for these people?

Answer:
As for their keeping women away from men, they are doing this, may Allah reward them with good. But you must know that due to the large number of people, some lack of discipline may occur. However, they are striving, may Allah reward them with good, and we see them doing so. As for photography, this is wrong. You must report to the body, the body of the Haram, the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice in the Haram. Report to them about those who are taking pictures and the place where they are taking them, so that they can monitor and prevent it, because this is prohibited. Generally, the women who take pictures of non-mahram women bring cameras with them in their clothes, and they are not searched, and they take pictures. So you must report to the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice in the Haram, yes, the specific body for the Haram.
