The Difference Between Live Broadcast Photography and Photographic Photography

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner is asking about the difference between live broadcast photography and photography with a photographic camera? He is asking about the ruling on live broadcast photography and the difference between it and photography with a photographic camera?

Answer:
Live broadcast. It is merely a transmission of movements, of people while they are praying. This is a transmission, a transmission of the prayer in the Sacred Mosque or the Prophet’s Mosque. This is a transmission that you watch, of people praying on this screen, which is transmitted to you before you. As for photography, it is the preservation of the image, fixing it in a static place, making it permanent. In my view, this is the difference: mere transmission differs from preserving the image, fixing it, and transmitting it as it is passed among people. Yes.
