Is it permissible to film an Islamic wedding and its appropriate attire, given the wife's fear of being filmed without her knowledge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
In summary, the ruling on photographing a Muslim wedding is that there is no objection to photographing women if it is done in a way that keeps the photos from being seen by strange (non-) men during processing and printing; otherwise, it is not permissible. The sin of your photograph being taken without your knowledge falls upon the photographer. As for the wedding attire, it is governed by the known Islamic legal regulations and does not differ for a wedding from any other occasion.
