The Ruling on Photography with a Video Camera
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on photography with a video camera?
What I see is that there is nothing wrong with it, except that preoccupation with it is a waste of time, unless there is a benefit. And in some cases, photography by it is forbidden; such as those who photograph wedding parties,For example: who photograph women, or a woman with her husband, or the meeting, this is forbidden; because it contains nothing but the arousal of desire for whoever looks at this image, or the gazing at Muslim women, and this one is beautiful and this one is ugly, and this one is tall and this one is short, and this one is white and this one is black, and the like of that.
But if we want to photograph a gathering of knowledge, then there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no blame in it.
