If I throw away all the pics of my daughter, and her movies, it would be like loosing a part of myself. I think this is the reason it isn ot allowed in Islam. Anything, object, or action that takes u away from Allah and His worship is forbidden.
 
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on videotaping celebrations, conferences and seminars?

He replied: If there is the hope that people may benefit from the videotaping of the party, seminar or Islamic meeting in which there is the call to Allaah, and it is believed that this is most likely to serve a good purpose and that this videotaping will be good and will benefit the people, then there is nothing wrong with that in sha Allaah. End quote from Fataawa Islamiyyah (4/367).

i was wondering if a pure islamic wedding (which sticks strictly to shariah) can help increase peoples emaan if videotaped? and also just what would be videotaped? lol


im pretty sure ibn baaz rahimahullah would prefer no videotaping most right?

I didn't study adequate Fiqh, but there's something should be noted .. Drawing is Not photographing .. because in photographing is all about image "reflection" stored using a camera. I know it's controversial, can anyone provide the other opinions by different Imams?

Selam aleykum.

Then you mean you should also throw away your daugther, because she is a live object distracting you from dhikr? Your family will always be a part of you, how can you say they would lead you to shirk?? :confused: I'm not wanting to sound rude, or anything astagfirullah, so please forgive me if I do so.


I myself understand both views about this issue, very well.

Selam aleykum,

I am very sorry sister dear, but I couldn't understand your words, to be honest too. If my mother would tell me my photos of me would distract her from dhikr and she better throw them away, I'd be very hurt and felt in an unfair position. :-\

A Muslim would never get any person may it be daugther or son, sister or father etc, to see that person in such a level , if you understand what I mean... :-\

But I see I have hurted you but inshaAllah you can come back to me and just explain your position, because I am confused and know you wouldn't mean anything bad, know I do not either mean anything bad...
Again I am very sorry. JazakAllah khair for forgiving me, inshaAllah I'll be forgiven by Allah too because I see I have caused you pain.. But I didn't inted to hurt you, just to understand the words of a mother, do remember that dearest sister.

Selam aleykum

:sl: sister,
now I see why u said it, becoz u were thinking of urself being in the daughter's place:uhwhat

As for me, I said that becoz I need to convince myself why keeping my daughters pictures just for fun or to be my companion when she isn't around or to rmmember her, are haram in Islam.
 
ohhh emmm geeeee!!! I take picturesz like theresz no tomorroww!! nd i kinda consider a hobby... i take pictures of myselff my family friendsz placesz like the park nd palestine...wooww =( not fair
 
Wow, i had no idea that this was haraam. We have dozens of pictures hanging on our walls throughout our home, most of them being on the fireplace. Most of them are pictures of aunts' and uncles' weddings, and some are of us when we were younger.

And i just ran an order through walmart to print our most recent digital pics.... :(

Sub7anallah

Salaam :)
 
If pictures are haraam, how can Muslim matrimonial sights show pictures?
 
one interestin point bout pics:D

the hadith uses the word tasweer, which comes frm d word tasawwur - meanin to imagine or make up, so makin up lik drawins is not allowed

but photos... are just stating the facts i.e - if i take a pic of a tree, its fact it already there i just captured the fact:D
 
i find "intent" confusing in islam. sometimes it seems to be taken in to account and sometimes not.
in the case of people photographing their childen or other relatives, there is certainly no intent to commit shirk, or even any temptation.
if something is clearly forbidden specifically, then i guess intent would be irrelevant. but otherwise?
there seems to be a range of opinion re: taking pictures, so i assume there are different opinions as to what is covered in the prohibiton.
 
Allahu a3lam. Maybe someone knowledgeable can come and enlighten us on the fact :)

Salam. :)
 
Assalamu Alaikum

I think the best answer is the one this brother gave in a post:

believer said:
with regards to posters, images, objects that represent a human being or any living thing... I believe we need to keep ourselves not surrounded by these things... If you reflect about it... subliminal programming uses these mediums in order to put something like an idea inside our minds.

In this case, if we reflect on it... an image of Malcolm X will place an indellible image of this person in our phantasms... or our subconsciouss mind.

The downside of having this in our brain cells is that we are displacing time and space for the remembrance of Allah... since we can only focus our minds to one subject at a time.

What we need to have is a vacant space to filled up with Allahs' Remembrance, the Qur'an and the ways of the prophet in focus in our daily lives... Any other images or concepts that will share this space will definitely take some time and space and will definitely be causes of distractions during our daily lifes routine.

It is merely a reflection on the subject. since it is frequently mentioned by Allah SWT in the Qur'an... that the Clear book is for those Who think, those who Appreciate... and those who Reflect....

With that being well said, do what you what you think is best in the deen, and what will most please Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

Since almost everything can be digitally stored and created, you can access any pictures through the internet, on a computer, mobile, or any other digital device.

For example, the news can be read on the internet; Old pictures can be scanned onto a computer and saved that way instead and then thrown away; etc.

Do not make the deen difficult upon yourselves. There are some things we may think are very harmless in the deen but they corrupt us or others very minimally or very slowly, in which case you will very much regret even an eighth of an atom of corruption, because it will show up on the day of judgement.

fi aman allah

RE: WASSUP
Aslam o alaikum
i think the hadis (Those who make these pictures will be punished on the day of resurrection, and it will be aid to them,"make alive what you have created".) is for the painting not for the photography, bcz in photography we dont create anything. we just take a reflect of the creation of Allah Subhanhuwatala.

Alhumdullilah i vistied harmain sharefain in this ramadhan of 1428 hijri. and i saw the dvd of taraveeh of 27th night in the market soon after the fajjar prayer. and all this done by the permission of the faqeeh and mufties and aima karam of kaaba n madina.
so i think if somebody want to take a picture but he is confused then i think he can make a movie.
walla hu alam.
