| Q.) We wanted to record our Annual General meeting in the basement of
the Masjid. But one brother stood up and declared this is haram and created a scene. What
is your opinion regarding this issue? [Abdul Alami] |
A.) There are differences of opinion among reliable scholars regarding
the electronic capturing (video, internet, etc.) of animate images being Tasweer (pictures
and photography, etc.) or not.
In view of many reliable Ulama prohibiting that, we advise you exercise caution and
abstain from video recording especially when an alternative, audio recording, can fulfil
the dominant purpose of recording the meeting.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
