The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: Photography and broadcast of prayers through communication sites may make them unacceptable – the seventh day

The Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia called on the head of the Senior Scholars Authority, the General President of Scientific Research and Ifta, Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Muhammad Al Sheikh, imams and preachers, to take care of sincerity and distance from hypocrisy and suspicions, including broadcasting and photographing their prayers and lectures through social media channels and sites in mosques that may occur in the blessed month of Ramadan, so photographing and broadcasting prayers on the air directly is a serious issue that may contradict sincerity, which is a basic condition that is a basic condition. According to “SPA”.

This came in a fatwa issued by Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah, in response to a question about the decision taken by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Da`wah and Guidance, by preventing the filming and broadcasting of prayers and lectures through social media, in light of the keenness to achieve legal interests from the spread of unproductive errors through social media.

He stated that a Muslim must take care of sincerity -as much as he can -asking God to provide everyone with sincerity and good deeds, and God is success and may God bless you and grant them peace to our Prophet Muhammad.

He said: “This issue is dangerous, before this measure that the ministry took, which is to prevent photography and broadcast prayers and lectures through social media, in order to remedy the mistakes that may occur. I fear the smaller polytheism, they said: What is the smaller polytheism, O Messenger of God?

The Mufti Sufy explained the issued fatwa that depicting prayers in mosques, speeches and lectures, as well as depicting acts of worship, such as prayer or performing rituals, has judgments that differ according to the intention and the goal of photography, citing the saying of the Prophet -may God bless him and grant him peace -:

He added: “Sincerity is an important matter, which is what I have to bed with the righteous, because whoever knows that every work is not requested by the face of God, and it is rewarded for its owner, think and manage before he finds himself bankrupt on the Day of Resurrection, for Abu Hurairah -may God be pleased with him -said: The Messenger of God -may God bless him and grant him peace -said: God Almighty said: (I am the richest of the partners on the polytheism, whoever has a work in it) Majah: (I am innocent of him and he is the one who involved), and God says: (So whoever is hoped for the meeting of his Lord, let him do good deeds and do not share the worship of his Lord anyone.))
