What is the ruling on a female photographer or videographer working at women's wedding parties, given that the groom enters the same hall to take his bride? And is this work permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for a husband to enter among women at a wedding to take his wife, thereby seeing their awrah (private parts). Photographing or videoing women at the celebration is also forbidden, whether the photographer is a man or a woman, because it is highly likely that foreign men will see these pictures and the awrah of women in them, while they are in full adornment.
