What is the ruling on video-recorded religious sermons and admonitions featuring real people?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Purposeful films that call to prayer, repentance, and admonition are permissible, preponderating the prevailing benefit. The Fiqh Encyclopedia has stipulated the permissibility of photography for a benefit, such as education, citing children's toys which were exempted to train girls in raising children or to increase children's joy and improve their development. This indicates the permissibility of manufacturing images for a benefit, even with the presence of a reason for prohibition.
