Question:
What is the ruling on those who harm people by taking pictures in the Haram?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ahzab 33:57] It was stated in the exegesis of the verse that the intended meaning is the image-makers, who are those who harm Allah and His Messenger. Then He said: [Al-Ahzab 33:58] [Al-Ahzab 33:58] Image-making is forbidden and a major sin. Whoever does it is cursed, whether in the Haram or outside the Haram, but it is more severe in the Haram because sin in the Haram is more severe than sin outside the Haram.
What is the ruling on those who harm people by taking pictures in the Haram?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًاAnd those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُواhave certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.
فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا
