Mention of what is permissible regarding images.

The Shaykh : But the images that are absolutely necessary fall under the rule: "Necessities permit the prohibited," along with the addition that scholars include, which is their saying: "Necessity is measured by its extent." So images for identity cards, passports, and the like, which are necessary even for women, there is no harm in them. For what reason? For the sake of necessity only. As for anything other than that, by Allah, our work is a leisure activity; let us take a commemorative photo, and by Allah, I would not hang his picture in my house so that I do not forget his memory, and so on. All of this is from the whispers of Satan. Then I say with the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): . So if the artist draws an image of the body excluding the head for a scientific or anatomical benefit, there is no harm in that. And now we are content with this speech regarding what preceded concerning the image, and if there are other questions.

The questioner : If you would allow a light sermon, because this... the evening appointment is a light sermon, meaning a sermon about marriage, and then we will leave.

The Shaykh : And we will leave.

The questioner : May Allah bless you, I mean the questions, the questions will be...

The Shaykh : later, if Allah wills.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh: All right.
