The Ruling on Image-Making in Television, the Sacred Precinct, and the Like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Image-making in television?
Answer:
Whether in television or not.
Q: And image-making of the Sacred Precinct?
The Shaykh: It is not permissible to make images of any living beings.
Q: Even in the Sacred Precinct.
The Shaykh: Yes, any image-making. This is not image-making; they take it without a fixed image. It is not something that remains fixed. This is the transmission of prayers on television; it is not a fixed image like a mirror that is set up and people see it, which has no permanence like a mirror.
As for what is fixed on paper, a cloth, a wall, or a wooden board; this is reprehensible.
