Q: If one works for a company in which one has meetings via video call, is this job still halaal and is the income earned still halaal?
And if the company you are employed for at sometimes advertisers using photography on their company website or requires you to have an employee ID with your image on it, will the income be halaal?
A: If the job one is employed for is halaal, then the earnings will be halaal. However, he should excuse himself from everything that relates to photography as photography (of all animate objects) is declared haraam and prohibited in shariah. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “The people to be inflicted with the worst punishment on the day of Qiyaamah will be the picture makers."
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
