Continuation of the previous tape regarding the ruling on bringing a television into the house?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But in my opinion, if there were many television programs in our Arab countries, in the sense that the Jordanian television available to merchants can connect to all the world's television centers, so you browse through them and turn it on like a radio for something beneficial and not harmful, in this case, it can be said to be permissible. But as it is now, the Muslim should be cautious for himself, his family, and his children, and not bring a television into his house.
One of the attendees: From an Islamic perspective, okay, from the perspective of images, would it be...
The Shaykh : The images that are permissible for you to use, it is permissible for you to take them, otherwise you would fall into contradiction. The images that are permissible for you to use, it is permissible for you to take them, and the image that is not permissible for you to use, it is not permissible for you to take it.
One of the attendees: What is the detail in this statement?
The Shaykh : Did you take the answer to your question or not?
The questioner : Is this statement not understood?
The Shaykh : I mean, I traveled for 'Umrah and they asked me for a good photo, okay, is it permissible for me to take a photo at the photographer's or not?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, I have a camera, so instead of going to the photographer, I take my own photo, is it permissible or not?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I am asking you right now.
The questioner : I mean, if it involves sin, it is possible that...
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, do not undo what you have built. I want to take my own photo so that I can perform 'Umrah or Hajj, is my taking this photo for myself permissible or forbidden?
The questioner : ... .
The questioner : [In this, one looks] In this, a fasiq (open sinner)... like the issue of medicine
The Shaykh : What, is he a fasiq or not?
The questioner : A fasiq takes his own photo in general.
The Shaykh : I am talking about myself, about myself, I want to take my own photo so that I can perform Hajj to the House of Allah the Sacred.
The questioner : I take my photo [because] I am compelled to.
The Shaykh : I am talking about myself, about myself, not about you, I am talking about myself, I want to perform Hajj to the House of Allah the Sacred, is it permissible for me to take my own photo or not?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what does the fasiq have to do with the matter that you are forcing in?
The questioner : No, it would be me taking my own photo...
The Shaykh : I have a device, I take my own photo, I said earlier, instead of going now to your expression, to the fasiq, I do not go to him, at home I take my own photo, is it permissible?
The questioner : Your words, by Allah, there is a fasiq who does the work, there is no need for me to go to him, meaning I do the thing myself.
The Shaykh : My brother, you have finished our situation with the fasiq, I now have a camera, okay, I want to take my own photo so that I can go to the House of Allah the Sacred, because the way is not permissible except this way, is it permissible or not permissible?
One of the attendees: It is permissible out of necessity.
The Shaykh : If you are not convinced in this, oh, problem...
The questioner : You said, if I am in medicine, I mean...
The Shaykh : My brother, leave yourself alone from analogy, you are analogizing, not everyone is skilled in analogy, before you analogize, study the easy issue, now I am saying about myself, reach here, I want to take my own photo so that I can submit this photo to the passport office so that they allow me to perform Hajj to the House of Allah the Sacred, is this permissible or not?
The questioner : Yes, it is permissible because you are compelled to do so.
The Shaykh : Okay, if you stand away from it, what does this matter have to do with the issue of dissection and medicine and so on?
The questioner : ... I take my own photo
The Shaykh : Did you understand?
The questioner : No... praise be to Allah
The Shaykh : I said that it is permissible for me to take my own photo so that I can perform Hajj to the House of Allah the Sacred, or 'Umrah, or even a journey that is not obligatory upon me but is permissible, look at these types: a permissible journey, a recommended 'Umrah, an obligatory Hajj, I am saying it is permissible for me to take my own photo with my hand so that I can enjoy these three types, are you convinced by this statement?
The questioner : I am convinced by this.
The Shaykh : Okay, why do you stray from me and say medicine and what medicine and analogy and what analogy, it is not mentioned in the text, correct? This is what I wanted to say.
Before, what did I want to say, I say I go to the photographer and you take my photo, this is what troubled you from what appeared to you from me earlier, that this is a fasiq, a sinner, and so on, okay, I go to him because there is no photographer, I am not able to take my own photo, so now it has become clear to you that the image I presented to you is that I want to take my own photo myself for these three matters, I said this matter is permissible.
One of the attendees: From an Islamic perspective, okay, from the perspective of images, would it be...
The Shaykh : The images that are permissible for you to use, it is permissible for you to take them, otherwise you would fall into contradiction. The images that are permissible for you to use, it is permissible for you to take them, and the image that is not permissible for you to use, it is not permissible for you to take it.
