Is it permissible to publish pictures of the corpses of female fighters with their 'awrah exposed to warn and remind Muslims?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Publishing pictures and scenes that illustrate the persecution and massacres of Muslims is religiously required to raise awareness of their issues, support them, and lift injustice from them, while avoiding pictures that include 'awrah (private parts), unless there is a legitimate religious need for it. The objective can be achieved by displaying other pictures or by blurring the area of the 'awrah.
