What is the ruling on watching films about the stories of the prophets Jesus and Moses, peace be upon them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Acting out the roles of the Companions involves harms, as has been previously explained. As for acting out the roles of the Prophets, the harms involved are greater, due to the belittling of them and the claiming of their status. Therefore, this type of acting is not permissible, nor is watching it permissible. Rather, what is obligatory is to combat it, denounce those who do it, and warn people against it.
