I Work as a Photographer
|
Question:
I work in a government department, my job is to take pictures with a camera on special occasions. I know that taking pictures of people is unlawful, so please advise me what to do so that I can stay away from everything that makes Allaah Almighty angry. May Allaah preserve you and guide you to all that is good.
|
Answer:
Making or taking a picture of a human or an animal is unlawful, regardless whether it is a photograph, a drawing, stitching, a carving, or a sculpture, and regardless of whether it has a three-dimensional shape or a two-dimensional shape. There are many Hadiths that prohibit the making of pictures. May Allaah send peace and blessings on our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
