Pictures & Videos

Q: The reason I'm writing this mail is to know a clarification. We have a lot of Muslim deaf brothers all around the world especially a lot of effort is being made in the field of Tabligh among them in our country (Sri Lanka). The only way they can communicate with other deaf brothers is by doing a video call when they are at home or work (because they are unable to speak/hear so we need to use sign language to communicate by video). Since the video is not reproduced (it's just a live stream) and the objective of the call is to discuss an important matter - would that render video call permissible? (By no means do I consider the television streaming permissible but I would like to understand the point of video call at this point because it's vital). 

Q: Can you please clarify why video calling is considered impermissible?

Q: If a Muslimah was filmed without her consent by a protester, is she sinful?

Q: I need advice regarding 2 small crystal figurines I have of lions and 1 porcelain Japanese lady - these are not idols they were purely for decorative reasons - except the Japanese lady I obtained when my grandmother passed away may Allah bless her soul and prior to me being a revert.

My concern is that by having these on the house even under those circumstances am I still sinning & risking the angels not entering our house? If so then if they are boxed away & not on display & hidden would that be permissible or will the angels still not enter? Do I need to actually put the box in storage away from my house or put with a non Islamic friend to store away for me? These items do hold some meaningful value to me however only on regards to my husband bought me the lions without realising and now is concerned & as mentioned above the item collected from my grandmothers passing. 

Q: Is it permissible to install digital cameras and cctv as a means of protection and security?

Q: Is it permissible to play shooting games and post that type of content on YouTube for making money from it?

Q: I am a fairly new Muslim and I'd like a little bit of help on something. I have a hobby called, ' reborn dolls' heres a bit of information about the ' reborn dolls':

Reborn doll. A reborn doll is a manufactured skin doll that has been transformed by an artist to resemble a human infant with as much realism as possible. The process of creating a reborn doll is referred to as reborning and the doll artists are referred to as reborners. Women, intend to use 'reborn dolls' of a way to get rid of anxiety or stress or struggle with child loss. Or to prepare for an actual real baby!

I've even heard colleges use these to prepare nurses and etc how to deal with babies? Is this hobby Haram? Could you give me advice on what I should do?
