Advising Salafis Against Tasweer Question: He says: In our country, some Salafis call to Tawhid and warn against Shirk. They are not involved in political groups, but they do engage in tasweer. They publish clips that contain Tawhid and warnings against Shirk from some scholars, and Allah has benefitted many people through these clips. They also have Telegram channels where they spread Tawhid and the Sunnah and warn against bid‘ah. So how should we deal with them, given that they use video recording? Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari: We advise them to stop filming, and may Allah reward them for spreading Tawhid and the Sunnah. Just as they took Tawhid and the Sunnah from the Prophet ﷺ and from the Salaf, we advise them to also take the prohibition of Tasweer from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and from the Salaf. Such people—brothers—who are confused about this matter should be supplicated for, shown patience, and advised. As for us, our position is clear: we do not engage in tasweer, by the virtue of Allah, and we do not see it to be permissible. We must warn against these things. But to say that this (tasweer) is an act of worship, this is a problem. If someone believes it is an act of worship, we advise them to repent from this view and stay away from it. People are in need of the speech of scholars; they are not in need of pictures. What benefit is there in an image of Ibn Baz? What benefit is there in an image of Abdul Aziz Aal Ash-Sheikh? What benefit is there in an image of Al-Albani? What benefit is there in images at all? Also, some scholars do not approve of tasweer, so posting their images is disrespectful to them, and some of them may not even forgive it. So we thank them for spreading Tawhid and the Sunnah, and we call them to avoid filming living beings, because of the fitnah it can cause. Allah is the One whose help is sought.
