Ruling on Bringing Cameras and Video Equipment into the Mosque

Question:
Is it permissible to bring video equipment, televisions, and cameras into the mosque?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. This is introducing what is wrong, as it gives free rein to the radio, allowing for ugly content, songs, and objectionable sounds.
Q: Some people argue for permissibility by pointing to the presence of cameras in the Haram?
A: No, that is not acceptable. Their action is not a proof. Photography is absolutely prohibited.
Q: Even in the Haram?
A: It is prohibited in the Haram, but if the authorities are lenient, that is not a proof. The leniency of the lenient is not a proof.
Q: Regarding the devices you mentioned earlier: some people say that these things benefit the da'wah and benefit people?
A: No, no. However, if it is merely something good, like broadcasting the Qur'an, there is no harm. But it may happen that things that are not good are broadcast. If one guards it and listens to the Qur'an broadcast or something good, there is no harm.
