What is the ruling on video recording at men's weddings?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: O honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on video recording at men's wedding parties, provided there is no religious concern?
The Shaykh : I see that there should be no recording at parties, because opening this door leads to moving from recording men to recording women, as is happening now with those who record women at parties. This is forbidden without a doubt, because these images will be shown to everyone, and people will watch moving images of women, which involves a great trial. Likewise, I see that recording men falls under the category of blocking the means to harm, so permission should not be given to men to record. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
