What is the ruling on photography with a still camera or a video camera if it is guaranteed (to be permissible)? And is the questioner sinful if she prints computer-generated images that are not her creation and are not hand-drawn, but are rather images of people that she merely prints?

It is permissible to print photographic or visual images of animate beings using a computer or other means if there is a need for it, such as for education, enlightenment, research, and so on. It is preferable to avoid them if there is no such need. It is stipulated that the images must not be forbidden, such as pictures of unveiled women, and that they must be printed as they are without alteration. Otherwise, their ruling would be the same as that of forbidden hand-drawn images.
