What is the ruling on photographing the body - without nudity - and is photography with a barrier between the body's details and the camera considered an act of disobedience if the model is male and his photography leads to the temptation of others?

Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on photographic and video imaging. The more accurate opinion is that it is permissible so long as it does not include anything prohibited, such as the exposure of awrah (private parts). If the subject being photographed has their awrah exposed, then it is impermissible to photograph them. However, if the subject's awawrah is covered by something specific that outlines it, then that is disliked. As for men looking at men, there is no harm in principle, unless it is with lust. Therefore, the questioner is not sinful for this act.
