Pictures & Videos

Q: I was watching a video on youtube. A man reciting poetry but then I completely forgot it was poetry because it sounded like the quran then I remembered like 20 seconds later that it was poetry. Will I be judged?

Q: Is it permissible to stuff an animals head and keep it as an ornament after hunting it and consuming that which is edible?

Q: Is photos permissible in any madhab. Please substantiate with some proof.

Q: If I take pictures of myself and never show it to anyone, is this forbidden too?

Q: We have always been taught not to wear moorat/clothing with eyes and animate objects on them. We have been told recently that if an object like a cartoon character even if it be a car has eyes drawn/painted on it, is then not considered as moorat. This is because a car is not an animate object. Is this correct?

Q: My question is that is it a major sin or a minor sin to keep pictures of animate objects in the house? I know that it must be avoided, but I was having a discussion with my family about this, and now I am very curious as to whether this comes in category of major sins or minor sins? (These photos were taken by someone else, I am asking about keeping them in the house).

Q: Is it permissable to make dolls as a hobby? If one has already made them, created them, is it permissable to then sell them? Will the money made from selling them be halaal?

Q: What will the ruling be regarding the use of cctv camera if it is used for security purposes? Won't it be regarded as a need just as the taking of passport photos is allowed for a need though related to a worldly reason like a business trip?

Q: I would like to know regarding the extent of a photo, e.g. if a photo does not have a persons face but the rest of the body , is this permissible. What about just e.g. an arm. Some people claim this is fine without the eyes, but I feel this can lead to many fitan just like normal photos.

Q: The company I work for have requested that I provide them with a picture of myself which they want to use for an organogram. "An Organogram is a diagram that shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions/jobs." Is it permissible for me to take a photo for this purpose?
