Pictures & Videos

Q: Can we keep pictures of hands? For example pictures of henna on the hands.

Q: I had an art project on the Mexican day of the dead festival and painted canvases that I think are haram. I painted two girls and one of them represented life and the other one represented death. One of them was with glowing eyes and I wrote in my art book that it shows birth and that she has life in her or something like that. The other one had two hands reaching out to her and I painted this because in the Mexican day of the dead festival they call out to spirits which is shirk. I also wrote that she could be depicted as a soul keeper but I didn't know about shirk at the time and I think about what I did until recently I realised how bad this is.

I even wrote stuff like these girls are like guardians of heaven and earth like a metaphor but I didn't believe in any of this. I also wrote how one of the girls in the canvas her soul is either going back to her too it was for my art project and I did it last year but I found my art book and these canvases and I ripped them up. I have one more canvas left and this canvas I named it "spirit lurer" which I don't know if this is shirk or not? If it is shirk, shall I get rid of the canvas or is it allowed to be painted over the skulls of the painting and what if I leave the face of the girl on there and turn the painting into a girl in a jungle and not holding the skull? Because the canvas is still linked to day of the dead but what if I get rid of the day of the dead element? I got rid of the other two canvases of the girls but this canvas i didn't get rid of yet because i didn't think it was shirk since i only named it "spirit lurer" but i thought maybe i can change the name of the painting. in the painting its only of a girl holding a skull unlike the other paintings.

Q: Is it permissible to share or to show a video of a group of people (men and women; women are unveiled) all together singing and dancing for a country leader who is not following Islamic laws? I was told that it is okay to share this type of video to others, because it is to show that there are people who are like this.

Q: Please guide me about selling and purchasing of drone cameras. These could be used for photo taking and video recording.

Q: I’m not a Muslim but my mother in law is... I want to clarify if it is an Islamic teaching that watching tv or movies is evil?

Q: I shared a pic on whatsapp on which a girls picture was printed and on the bottom it was stated that it is Yahodi sazish. So one member informed me that it was wrong, so I deleted it and sent a message not to share it because it will give me gunah. I tried to message my groups and tell them not share it. If they share it then it is not my responsibility of gaining sin or gunah. I want to ask you that if anyone shares it, will I be sinful because I tried to stop it?
