Is it permissible for a woman to photograph her body or hair and publish it without showing her face, under the pretext that her identity will not be known?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is commanded to veil herself from those to whom it is unlawful for her to show herself. It is not permissible for her to reveal any part of her body or her adornment to anyone to whom it is unlawful to see it. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to photograph any part of her body for foreign men to see, even if it is without photographing the face. Whoever does so has disobeyed her Lord.
