Pictures & Videos
Watching movies and drama shows
Q: I would like to ask if it is permissible to watch dramas like Yunus Emre or Kurlus Osman or any other Turkish dramas which are not inappropriate during the time when I have menses or any other free time. If not, are there any other halal ways of entertainment other then spending time with family?
Making funny videos with Islamic elements
Q: I wanted to ask about what is the ruling on making funny videos using Islamic elements in it? I saw a video where a man asked two guys that what is their name. So the first guy answered that his name is Yunus. So the questioner said if you can recite the Surah Yunus then I will give you 100 dollars. The first guy failed to recite the Surah. When the questioner asked the second guy that what is his name. He said, my name is Kawthar and started smiling weirdly. It is like he lied about his name and chose the name of an easy Surah so he can get the money.
So I wanted to know is it permissible to make such funny videos using Islamic elements? And what is the ruling on laughing at such videos?
Taking a picture of an animate object and removing the head before sending it
Q: When a person takes a picture on WhatApp, if a person doesn't send it and presses back, the picture disappears.
My question is, if you take a picture of an item to show someone and there's a logo on it and you remove the head on the logo before sending, is this permissible since the picture with the logo head is not accessible once you send it?
Selling products that have animate pictures on the packaging
Q: If a shop owner purchases items with murat (animate pictures) and/or female pictures on the packaging, sells these products and advertises them, will he be sinful?
If we should be covering these things, please can Hadhrat Mufti Saheb advise how.
Watching movies
Q: A lot of series and movies contain characters that use expressions like 'holy cow' or 'holy shi*'. I know that watching such movies or series is not beneficial and has to be avoided. Assumed that one watches such series in which actors say 'holy shi*' as an expression of astonishment, does it entail kufr for the one that watches it (and dislikes it in his heart)?
Liking a non-Muslim friends pictures on Instagram
Q: I'm a girl, and I have a non-Muslim friend who is also a girl. She has a private instagram account and sometimes she posts pictures, and some of them are of herself. Is it permissible for me to like these posts, or to comment that she looks nice, or to comment at all on the posts? Or is it not permissible for me to engage with her posts at all?
Taking pictures of people
Q: My relatives insisted to take pictures of them so I took their pictures. Now they are posting it on social media. Would I be sinful for their actions?
