Image making

Q: Is Sharia regarding image making binding on all, or only on the Muslim community? Is there a difference between Sunni schools of law and Shiʿa schools of law on images?

Watching television

Q: Is it kufr if I put on a movie where the actor says "Jesus" or "Oh my God"? Because their is a verse in the Quran where Allah says "and if you hear the signs of Allah being mocked at, then do not sit with them or you will be like them" will it be kufr if I put it on and allow other Muslims to watch it?

Photography

Q: Is the issue of photography and videography a valid difference of opinion? In other words, should we advise fellow lay people against photography, watching videos, Islamic TV' etc?
