Taking a video camera on trips if there is a need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your opinion, O Shaykh, about taking a video camera on land trips to film natural scenery?
I see that taking this video recording on trips is permissible for the sake of benefit; because you know that this consumes money, effort, and time, and leaving off a thing that is wasted without benefit is beneficial, but if there is benefit in it, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner: And what if it is filming people?The Shaykh: As for the image of a human or an animal, you know the disagreement regarding it, so avoiding it is better; because it is feared that, even in the distant future, it will lead to something forbidden.
