BENEFIT 135: Digital images cannot be compared to a mirror
Shaykh al-Albaanee rahimahullah said:
"...You were saying what is the difference between the reflection in the mirror and television or video? We say the difference is very much. We say to you now: stand in the mirror; come now and give me the image which you saw in the mirror. You are not able to do so. But, if it was given permanent form, it would become like a video and be forbidden. The harm comes from it…
"Thus, tasweer in all its forms is prohibited due to the general evidence mentioned earlier, and excluding an aspect of it [from the general prohibition] requires specific evidence. Whenever something is labeled as a "صورة", it becomes impermissible. Is the matter clear? Whoever claims that a certain type is permissible or impermissible must provide evidence to support their stance. If they label it as tasweer, then…
BENEFIT 134: If you see a video of a scholar online, don't just assume that they permit tasweer!
O Sheikh, what is the ruling regarding Tasweer using a mobile camera?
Sheikh Wasee'ullah Abbas waffaqahullah:
"This matter is very clear! The ruling on photography, my brother, is that all types of pictures have been prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. On the day of judgement, the one who takes a picture will be tasked with breathing life into it and bringing it to life, which they are not capable of. Therefore,…
"Dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali is not known for Salafiyyah"...that's basically what Sheikh 'Abdulhameed is alluding to; which is a fair and honest response for someone who is unaware of this man's true conditi
However, if we brush off the surface and dig a little deeper, we find some serious issues which should make us cautious of this man.
Let's give some examples:
1⃣. There's a clip where he speaks about one of the Attributes of Allah, but rather than clarifying the correct creed with relation to this Attribute, he relays the different opinions as though he is discussing an issue of Fiqh, leaving the listener under…
BENEFIT 133: Salafiyyah is like the scent of a perfume
Sheikh 'Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah said:
“Salafiyyah is like a perfume which makes one smell good. The more obvious one's Salafiyyah is, the stronger the scent that emanates from them.”
The Sheikh mentioned these wise words in response to a question about Dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali (from Morocco)

4⃣. One…
I'm amazed at those people who create videos of scholars and stick their pictures on the background. Are they not afraid of the Curse of Allah? Are they not afraid of the scholars du'a against them?
Host: Many students of knowledge say that Tasweer is an issue of differing?!
Sheikh Fawzan: They want to turn everything into an issue of differing. [What matters is] who is the evidence with?
It is with the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:
((كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ))
“Every picture-maker will be in the Fire.”
((إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُصَوِّرُونَ))
“The people who will receive…
BENEFIT 131: How to deal with those who who invite you to speak at a function that involves tasweer
Sheikh Abdulkareem Al-Khuḍhair, may Allah grant him success, taught Tafsir Al-Qurṭubi over a course of 23 years. He was invited to give a talk to shed light on his experiences throughout this journey. But before doing so, he layed down some conditions...
Host: "Therefore, let us leave the floor to the esteemed Sheikh to commence and proceed with presenting this experience and these fruitful encounters...

This is also forbidden because it is a form of picture making. Pictures taken using a camera are recognised as pictures linguistically, customarily and legislatively. No one will say that the picture
BENEFIT 129: Evidences on the prohibition of tasweer

((أشد الناس عذاباً يوم القيامة المصورون))

BENEFIT 128: Possessing/buying books of scholars which contain commentary or verification by misguided individuals
QUESTION: We have some books authored by the scholars and imams such as Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad ibn Abdil Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on them all, which have been checked by people who have deviated from the Sunnah, and some books are expensive so we cannot afford to buy them, therefore, is it appropriate for us to utilise these books in our studies, bearing in mind that the explanations and…
