Q: Ummah Welfare Trust is a charity that raises funds using literature with photos of people and methods such as face painting, paint balling, climbing mountains etc. Is this correct?
A:
1. All pictures of animate objects are haraam (forbidden) in Islam. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
إن أشد الناس عذابا عند الله يوم القيامة المصورون (صحيح البخاري 2/880 ، صحيح لمسلم /201)
Those involved in picture-making will be subjected to the worst forms of punishment on the day of Qiyaamat. (Bukhari 2/880, Muslim 2/201)
2. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2067
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
