If the film includes a depiction of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then it is impermissible to watch it. This is because embodying his character contradicts the reverence and veneration due to him. Allah has commanded this in His saying: "That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger and support Him and venerate Him." The Fiqh Councils and Fatwa bodies have issued rulings prohibiting the depiction of the Prophet, and watching such a work is forbidden due to its involvement in assisting sin and aiding its spread.
