The Ruling on Photographing the Bride and Groom

Also, he says in his letter: The second question is: When the bride and groom gather on the stage prepared for them among the women present, one of the women or one of the men photographs the bride and groom together, and is close to them. Some grooms have little modesty and hold the wife and greet her in front of the wedding guests while the photographer is taking pictures in this situation. He also asks for your comment on this?
Answer: This is uglier than what came before. This is also not permissible, because this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and may lead to much evil regarding the photographed wife and the photographed husband. So the result is that this is not permissible. Photography is munkar (what is wrong), and it is not permissible for beings with souls, due to the authentic hadiths that have been mentioned previously from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), including his saying: , and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . So the result is that photography is munkar (what is wrong), and in this situation it is even more reprehensible, to photograph the bride and the husband, and perhaps those around them, the women, are also photographed. And perhaps she is photographed while he is greeting her or kissing her, because some husbands do not care and do not feel shy. All of this is munkar (what is wrong), and it is obligatory that this photographer, male or female, be disciplined in a way that deters them and their like from this bad action. And it is recommended for the owners of the house, or for anyone other than the owners who has jealousy (protectiveness), to report this to the local authority or to the court, so that the one who did this thing is punished, so that it serves as a lesson for others. Yes.
