Ruling on video recordings / photography.Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hizaam
بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم ▪️Ruling on video recordings / photography▪️ Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam -may Allaah preserve him- was asked the following question: 📩 Question: The questioner says: What is the ruling on transmitting live images of animate beings through video recordings as some people argue that it's permissible seeing as there are live recordings transmitted of people during Hajj and so forth? 📝 Answer: Transmitting (images) and utilisating these devices to capture images of people is no doubt a form of picture making, which is why anyone who sees these images will say this is a picture, no one will say it's an actual human being - rather it's a mere depiction of a real human being. Therefore the correct view of the scholars is that video recording is haraam, because it is included in the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: ((كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ، يَجْعَلُ لَهُ، بِكُلِّ صُورَةٍ صَوَّرَهَا، نَفْسًا فَتُعَذِّبُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ)) &qu
