Live Transmission of Lectures and the Ruling on Photography
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding lectures that are live transmitted, is this considered forbidden photography?
Answer:
If the images are fixed and remain, it is forbidden photography. But if it is a fleeting image that passes and is not fixed, I do not see anything wrong with it. For example, if you open a door to people who are praying and you see them, or a window through which you see those who are praying, if the images are not fixed, I do not consider it photography; rather, this is transmission. But if they are fixed and remain, then it is not permissible. Yes.
