What is the ruling on publishing pictures and video clips of things described as miracles, such as a tree in the shape of a human, or a fountain emerging from sand, or a girl transforming into an animal, or a lion uttering the name of Allah, or the word of Allah on animal skins?
A miracle is an extraordinary event displayed by Allah through a prophet as proof of his truthfulness. The images and clips that have circulated, such as a tree-like body in the form of a prostrating human, a fountain of sand, a girl transforming into an animal, a speaking lion, and the word "Allah" on animal skins, are not miracles. Rather, they are wonders of Allah’s creation and power. Disseminating them with the intention of demonstrating Allah's power and strengthening the faith of the weak-hearted is good, but disseminating them with the intention of misleading people is impermissible. The authenticity of these matters must be verified before disseminating them, due to the prevalence of lies and fabrications within them.
