Is differentiating between pictures that have a shadow and those that do not, in terms of prohibition, incorrect and without evidence? And do the hadiths of Umm Salamah and Umm Habibah support this view, which Al-Albani and some contemporary scholars have championed, taking into consideration the prohibition of photographing women in all forms for fear of fitnah?

If a student of knowledge prefers a statement supported by evidence and the majority of scholars, he should describe the opposing statement as less preferred (marjooh) or weak, without disparagement.

The fact that some do not understand the invalidity of differentiating between pictures with shadows and those without shadows in terms of prohibition does not prevent others from seeing a valid indication, and the matter remains within the framework of preferring what is closer to the intent of the Shari'ah.

The view of the majority of scholars, who hold that pictures of living beings that do not cast a shadow are unlawful, is preferred.

Photographing women does not differ from photographing men except in terms of the fear of temptation (fitna); if temptation is secure and strange men are not exposed to them, then it is permissible, otherwise it is not.
