Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... this image, so what is the difference between ... .
The Shaykh: Is it fixed?
The student: It is fixed in its original form; we moved it through cinematic compression.
The Shaykh : The question is wrong.
The student: Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: According to what is known ... known, for example, according to what is known, when we say that image-making is forbidden as a principle, but image-making for identity documents or passports.
The student: It is a dire necessity that cannot be dispensed with.
The questioner: Well, if this image is standing?
The Shaykh: There is no difference, Professor.
The student: It is one; the principle tells you.
The Shaykh: Is it standing or walking?
The questioner: No, it is standing.
The Shaykh: Well, what are you doing ... .
The questioner: As for television.
The Shaykh: I know ... you are now saying at the end of your speech, and if it is standing?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: And what are we talking about now? The standing image or the moving images?
The questioner: The standing images.
The Shaykh: Well, what was the result of the discussion, the ruling?
The questioner: The ruling ... .
The Shaykh: Well, what is the meaning of your question if it is standing and it is standing? If you said the opposite, and if it is moving, the question has validity, but if it is standing, it is standing by its original nature.
The questioner: And if it were correct, it would not contradict the text.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: If it were correct, it would not contradict the text.
The Shaykh: Of course, here comes ... the text, for example, forbade prayer between graves, yet the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over the dead in his grave. This prayer is not permissible, but the Messenger did what was forbidden. - And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings - so what the Messenger did is an exception to the prohibition, for example ... if there is an image in a mirror, a real image like a photographic image, well, this is permissible by the consensus of the Muslims. So do not consider it permissible merely because we have obtained images; these images have become a calamity for Muslims today. A small child here, as you can see, is smoking a cigarette, has a camera on his shoulder, and is taking pictures. It is not permissible, and it is not permissible. This is measured by the view of looking in the mirror.
