What is the ruling on photographing women's wedding parties, which no men see during the photography or printing, given that there is no other source of livelihood?
Photography is permissible according to the more preponderant opinion. A woman photographing another woman at weddings or other events is permissible in principle if it adheres to the শরীয়াহ guidelines. It is more cautious to avoid working in this field due to potential harms that may arise and the differing opinions among scholars regarding its ruling. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect." (Quran 65:2-3) And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. There is no harm in continuing this work out of necessity until another opportunity becomes available.
