▪️Are live videos and video calls permissible?▪️
⠀⠀Our Shaykh, al-Ḥāfiẓ, al-Muḥaddith, al-Faqīh, ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه) was asked on the 5th of Dhū al-Qaʿdah, 1442H:
⠀⠀📩 "What is the ruling on the one who says Taṣwīr (pictures, images, videos) of live streams/videos is Ḥalāl such as the application Imo (video call) and live television?"
⠀⠀🎙️ Shaykh ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه):
"All of it is Muḥarram (Ḥarām)! Imo, television, all of it is Ḥarām! As for the statement they are Ḥalāl, then this is an incorrect statement. It's obligatory upon them to repent to Allāh, for verily making that which Allāh made Ḥarām, Ḥalāl, is a major sin.
{ وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ هَـٰذَا حَلَـٰلࣱ وَهَـٰذَا حَرَامࣱ لِّتَفۡتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَۚ ...}
'Do not falsely declare with your tongues, 'This is lawful, and that is unlawful,' only fabricating lies against Allāh...' [Sūrah al-Naḥl: 116]
{ قُلۡ مَنۡ حَرَّمَ زِینَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِیۤ أَخۡرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّیِّبَـٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ...}
'Say —al-Nabī ﷺ— Who has forbidden the adornment which Allāh has brought forth for His slaves or the good things from among the means of sustenance...' [Sūrah al-ʾAʿrāf: 32]
{ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا یُفۡلِحُونَ }
'Say —al-Nabī ﷺ— Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allāh will never succeed.' [Sūrah Yūnus: 69]
This is a lie upon Allāh عزوجل, to say this is Ḥalāl! Pictures of things possessing souls, whether it's a live broadcast or other than it, all of it is Ḥarām!"
