BENEFIT 511: Watching the Teacher’s Face Won’t Help You Understand the Lesson Any Better

Questioner: he says, "Sheikh, may Allāh grant you you. We heard from one of your students that you said it is allowed to use a video camera for documentation. Is that true? And if there is a lot of this filming, what is the ruling if it’s not needed?” Sheikh Fawzān: For what purpose? Questioner: To document charitable work. Sheikh: No, never. It is a lie to say I said this, even if it comes from one of my students—it’s a lie. I never say this. I say filming is allowed only for necessity, as scholars have ruled for necessities like an ID card or driving license. Filming for spreading knowledge, as some say, is not allowed. Knowledge can be shared without filming, yes. https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/2083
