What is the ruling on designing a page for an Islamic university that allows the system administrator to upload photos of lecturers alongside the names of the lectures, knowing that I do not upload the photos but rather provide the means for doing so? And what is the ruling on designing a page for a competition that includes photos and videos of contestants for voting via the website or text messages, noting that the photos do not contain women?

Photographs taken with a camera or video are a matter of scholarly disagreement among contemporary jurists. However, the more authoritative view is that they are permissible as long as nothing impermissible is involved, such as being of a unveiled woman or for the purpose of glorification. Accordingly, there is no harm in providing programs that contain such images, as long as the competitions accompanying them do not involve any impermissible religious element like gambling.
