Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Based on the permissibility of photographic imaging, it is permissible to work in this field, though it is better to avoid it to steer clear of controversy. However, it is not permissible to develop films that contain images of unveiled women, as this constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression. Nor is it permissible to look at them, in compliance with Allah's command to lower one's gaze.
