What is the ruling on working in the field of visual effects, such as creating explosions, fires, or ground fissures using graphics or computers for films, cinema, and advertisements?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on working in media depends on the nature and impact of the work. The default is permissibility, unless it is associated with an inseparable (forbidden) element, such as photographing 'awrah (private parts) or spreading corruption. The questioner must review the media materials they will be working with. If these materials are free from prohibitions, then working with them is permissible. Otherwise, it is not permissible, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
