Скачать или смотреть Photography in Islam: Permissible but Hanging Pictures Haram? | Assim Al Hakeem

In this insightful explanation by Assim Al Hakeem, the topic of photography and hanging pictures on walls in Islam is discussed in detail.

There is a well-known difference of opinion among scholars regarding photography. Some scholars classify photography as tasweer (image-making), which is strongly warned against in authentic hadith, where the Prophet ﷺ mentioned that image-makers will face severe punishment on the Day of Judgment.

However, other scholars differentiate between handmade images (drawing, sculpting) and modern photography, explaining that photographs are merely reflections of light and not human creation. Based on this view, simple photography—without editing or alteration—may be considered permissible.

But the key issue addressed in this video is:
👉 If photography is permissible, why is hanging pictures still prohibited?

The answer lies in authentic narrations, including instructions from companions like Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), who conveyed that the Prophet ﷺ commanded not to leave images without altering or removing them. This establishes a strong ruling against displaying images of living beings.

Hanging pictures—especially of humans or animals—can lead to prohibited practices and even emotional or spiritual harm, such as excessive attachment or imitation of non-Islamic customs. This is why scholars widely agree that displaying such images on walls is not permissible, even if taking the photo itself may be allowed.

On the other hand, images of nature, landscapes, mountains, and trees are permissible to display, as they do not fall under the same prohibition.

This video helps clarify a commonly misunderstood topic and encourages Muslims to align their homes and practices with authentic Islamic teachings.
