What is the ruling on photography with cameras?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes.

Answer : Photography with devices in which the hand plays no role does not fall under the hadith. Pressing the button. What is pressing the button? This is not photography, because pressing the button is only for directing the device. However, pressing the button does not determine, for example, the nose, the eye, the lips, or the like. It does not determine them; rather, it only adjusts the scale, the scale of the comparison only. Yes. In the magazine al-Furqan, in its previous issues, before it was being published, before it was in Kuwait, before the crisis, there is a good research article by 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abd al-Khaliq in five issues, I think, or four issues. It is very good, meaning, yes, yes. I mean, if you wish to refer to it, it is good.
