Preface
All praise is due to Allah & may peace & blessings be upon his Messenger.
Before proceeding I ask Allah to make me sincere, to guide me to the truth & to forgive me for my shortcomings in both word & deed, Aameen. Here before you is a collection of evidences and fataawa (Islamic verdicts) in support and against the permissibility of digital imagery of human beings and animate creatures in an attempt to make clear my position on the subject. As a disclaimer this article is not intended to be a blueprint for you to follow for yourself but rather a breakdown of why and how I adopted my viewpoint as it is clear in the religion of Islaam that we should be conscious of how we are perceived by others:
Anas reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in the company of one of his wives, a person happened to pass by them. He called him and when he came, he said to him:
يَا فُلاَنُ هَذِهِ زَوْجَتِي فُلاَنَةُ
O so and so, she was my such and such wife.
Thereupon he said:
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ بِهِ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ بِكَ
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), if I were to doubt at all, I would have entertained no doubt about you at least.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:
إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ
Verily Satan circulates in the body like blood.
[ Sahih Muslim - The Book of Greetings ]
Imaam Muslim (رحمه الله) himself entitled the chapter that this Hadith (saying of the Prophet (ﷺ)) is derived from as:
باب بَيَانِ أَنَّهُ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِمَنْ رُئِيَ خَالِيًا بِامْرَأَةٍ وَكَانَتْ زَوْجَةً أَوْ مَحْرَمًا لَهُ
Chapter: It Is Recommended For The One Who Is Seen Alone With A Woman Who Is His Wife Or Mahram, To Say; "This Is So-And-So,' To Ward off Suspicion.
Part 1So to begin, some of you may be scratching your heads about what I am even talking about, in Islaam there is a great deal of emphasis shed on staying away from image making. Here are some such evidences:
