Q: Lately, there was a movie documentary that was released on hajj. This documentary was compiled using videos captured during this year’s hajj (2023), and it was being shown in the cinema in Killarney Mall in Johannesburg.

In this movie, there are many interviews of women. The labbaik is played together with music, and there are even Ulama who appear in the movie.

It is said that the purpose behind the production of this movie is to educate Muslims and non-Muslims regarding Islam and the beauty of hajj.

What is the Islamic ruling regarding producing, watching and promoting such a movie?

Q: The hadith regarding a Hafiz who will intercede on behalf of 10 people of his family...

The hadith mentions ''who were destined for Jahannum''.

Recently, a certain Apa conducting a Tafseer class had mentioned that this virtue is only for people who are already in Jannah (meaning the Hafiz can intercede on their behalf) and not for those who are in Jahannum (meaning the Hafiz won't be able to intercede on their behalf and they will remain in Jahannum).

Is this correct?
