What is the ruling on using electronic music as background for video clips, so that they are not silent? And is it permissible to continue working as a photographer if this music is forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Incorporating music as background audio is forbidden, due to the prohibition of listening to and using musical instruments. As for your work as a photographer, its permissibility is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and we have leaned towards its permissibility with certain conditions. It is more appropriate for you to avoid this field to steer clear of controversy and to be cautious in religious matters, especially in photographing championships where private parts may be exposed.
