The questioner : He said: O honorable Shaykh, various activities are held in schools, including seminars, lectures, and student activities that benefit the students. The question, O honorableThe Shaykh : Is it permissible to film these activities with a camera or on video to preserve them for the school, or so that the students may benefit from them?
The Shaykh : If there is a benefit in this, there is nothing wrong with capturing these images with a camera so that they remain. People will benefit from them later. But if there is no benefit in them, it is a waste of money and a waste of time. And if there is a benefit, but the harm outweighs the benefit, as if filming it leads to events that cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) when viewed, then it must be prevented.
The conclusion is: if there is a benefit, there is nothing wrong with it. If there is no benefit, it is a waste of money and a waste of time. Yes.
