CCTV's
Q: The process adopted in live video streaming is no different to any other conventional picture. The only difference is that it is being captured and reproduced in such quick succession through modern day technology that one feels that one is watching it as it's happening, whereas this is not the case..... This was part or your response to a question. The thought just passed through my head what about cctv cameras? In the office, shop and home? Is it jaiz to have it?
A: The Hadith prohibits pictures of all animate objects without any exception. Hence, the CCTV which produces pictures of animate objects according to Shari'ah is impermissible.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
