Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Scholars differ on the ruling concerning photographic imaging of animate beings. Some have prohibited it due to its resemblance to Allah's creation, while others have permitted it on the basis that it is merely the capturing of the subject's shadow.
If there is a benefit associated with photographic imaging in the mosque, such as photographing a lesson or a sermon, then it is permissible.
