What is the ruling on opening a studio to photograph only engaged couples under personal supervision and development?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The summary of the ruling is that if photographic imaging is free from prohibitions, it is a matter of doubt that a Muslim should avoid. As for opening a wedding photography studio: if the photographer is male, it is forbidden due to his exposure to seeing what is unlawful for him to see of women. If the photographer is female, then despite the permissibility of her looking at a man without desire, photographing newlyweds is a temptation, so it is better for her not to work in this field.
