Question:
This same group, our brother says, permits photographic depiction for non-essential purposes, such as photography during trips, photography at celebrations, and the like.
Answer:
Depicting living beings is forbidden and not permissible, whether by photography or otherwise. It is not permissible to depict anything of the living beings. However, if dire necessity calls for it, such as photographing criminals so that they can be apprehended, or what dire necessity requires for the protection of people’s honor if it cannot be achieved otherwise.
As for depicting living beings to hang them on walls, or to keep them, or for wedding parties, or the like; this has no basis and is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
