What is the ruling on photographing a bride in her wedding dress and saving the photos on a mobile phone or computer, knowing that the person taking the pictures is a committed sister or a commoner?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If there is a possibility that men might see the bride's photograph, then it is not permissible to photograph her by any means, even if the photographer is a woman. However, if it is confirmed that men will not see it, then there is no harm in taking the photograph, based on the opinion that permits it. Nevertheless, it is preferable to avoid it, out of consideration for those who deem photography absolutely forbidden.
