The ruling on women watching video tapes containing lectures
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah reward you. Um, Ibrahim, from her questions: Honorable Shaykh, she asks about the ruling on women watching video tapes that men deliver in lectures and other such settings. Is there any harm in that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to display images. It is not permissible to display images of living beings, neither for men nor for women. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers and informed that they will be the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection. Using them is approval of them; using images and displaying them is approval of them and use of them. The lectures and lessons can be obtained from recorded tapes for listening to the voice without keeping the images. Yes.
