Instant Photos are Permissible & Details Regarding Photography | Imam Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله

[@gardenofilm]

continued (from description of video) translation text: لماذا؟ لأن هذا المصور لم يخطط بيده وجهاً ولا عيناً ولا شفةً ولا أنفاً ولم يقلد الله عز وجل في التصوير. Why? Because this photographer did not draw with his hands a face, eye, lip, or nose, and he did not imitate Allah Almighty in the Tasweer. ‎غاية ما هنالك أن هذه الآلة ألقت ضوءاً على شيءٍ معين فالتقطته. The most of what it is, is that these devices cast light on a specific thing and capture it. ‎ولهذا نجد الأعمى يمكن أن يوجه الآلة هذه إلى شخص أو حيوان ويصوره، وهو أعمى! This is why we find that a blind person can point this device at a person or an animal and photograph it, while he is blind! ‎يمكن أن يصور في الليل ما فيه نور يرسم الإنسان عليه. It is possible to photograph at night when there is no light on which a person can draw with. ‎هذه لا تدخل في التصوير. This is not included in Tasweer.

Interesting. جزاك الله خيرا For sharing this. However, I didn't understand what is meant by, "It is possible to photograph at night when there is no light on which a person can draw with". Could you please explain? جزاك الله خيرا

[@ابوآسيةالسويسري]

Thats not the case with modern smartphones and computers. It is not merely a reflection rather its a algorithm that literally draws the picture on your screen.

[@ce-rf3lg]

It is known that the deaf can also make music, so music is ok now?

[@E.Cerulean]

​@@ce-rf3lgwhy do you take only one part of the explanation and draw such an analogy, this is not based on anything, may Allah guide us to be humble and respect the scholars who are way more knowledgeable than us, amin.

[@Abuhaadiyah]

This is so heavily relied on by those who desire to take photos of themselves and others but we should also consider the rest of the major Ulama forbid it, so if one takes this opinion he should make sure its not out of desires and Allaah knows best

[@ibnkofi]

Well said

[@ponderingspirit1475]

​@azikazikaziknah bro, meaning taking pictures for reasons that aren't really out of a greater need or for a greater maslaha

[@الثلجالأبيض-ف7ث]

@azikazikazik sometimes it is out necessity like passport renewal, job application, or forensics And of course none of that above can't be uploaded into social media

[@E.Cerulean]

جزاك الله خيرا وبارك الله فيك

Sheikh Uthaymeen permits Tasweer for Da'wah purposes?! 'Iṣām ibn 'AbdilMun'im Al-Murri (one of Sheikh Uthaymeen's students) writes in his biography of the Sheikh: "The Sheikh (i.e. Sheikh 'Uthaymeen) was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the Islamic University of Madinah. In the main hall, there were several video cameras. Before ascending the stage to begin his lecture, the Sheikh personally went to each camera operator and turned the cameras downwards, one by one. After taking his place on the stage, and before starting his lecture, he said: 'I do not permit anyone to film me. Whoever films me I will be their adversary on the Day of Judgment.' He then proceeded with his lecture." [End quote] Ref: P. 293 [الدرر الثمين في ترجمة فقيه الأمة العلامة ابن عثيمين]

Digital taswir containing living souls is not permissible according to the vast majority of major scholars and this is very clear from the sahih hadith regarding this. There's no need to dissect various opinions when we have a clear hadith prohibiting all types of taswir containing living souls.

[@Zub4ir]

The safer opinion is to not do it so I think that is best.

[@crunchipan6593]

Brother what about digital photos such as KZbin thumbnails and ur yt shorts ? Would they come under the prohibition or not ? As they are not tangible

[@E.Cerulean]

No

[@jibrintumaka3478]

How will one know which is fatwa to take since some of the sunny scholars view photography as something prohibited?

[@الثلجالأبيض-ف7ث]

All of the ulema agree that drawing and sculpting of living beings that have souls is haram. The confusion here stems from the fact these devices do not draw or sculpt in traditional sense, they essential capture the impression of visible light reflected of photographed objects. If you are confused then the best course of action here is to avoid photography of living beings that has souls ( human, animals) unless necessary

[@hhhhh45543]

the ijtihaad much accurate and strongest to the sunnah is that it’s not permitted

[@Jawanist]

Better to avoid it, in syā Allāh. That's safer.
