What is the ruling on working in photography and videography, in photo developing laboratories, and on selling and repairing their equipment?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The permissibility of engaging in photography and related activities depends on knowing what is being photographed. If the individual's activity is confined to what is permissible, then their work and its outcomes are permissible. However, if their activity includes prohibited things, then it is not permissible to engage in it.
