What is the ruling on photographing forbidden products, and photographing events related to international days that are free of women?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to deal with companies that sell forbidden products, due to the Almighty’s saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Advertising and promoting forbidden things falls under this.

It is necessary to ascertain the impermissibility of products and to differentiate between what is inherently forbidden and what can be used in a forbidden or permissible manner, such as clothes and artificial eyelashes.

If the use is multifaceted, the basic principle is that selling is permissible, unless the forbidden use predominates for the product, in which case the prevailing use is what counts.
