What is the ruling on a wife photographing brides and women in her husband's studio out of necessity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on photographic imaging, and the preponderant view is its permissibility as long as it does not involve anything unlawful. Photographing the bride and those with her is permissible if it is kept away from the view of unrelated men during developing or printing; otherwise, it is not permissible. As for photographing women out of necessity or dire need, it is permissible. It should be noted that it is not permissible for a husband to engage in the profession of photography unless he confines himself to what is permissible.
