Q: A Muslim welfare/charity run under the stewardship of scholars have been doing fund raising by means of video appeals in the Masjid/Jamat Khana. In these videos faces of people can be seen. Ulama condone this by attending the programme in the Masjid. Is raising funds in this way permissible and is it permissible to broadcast such videos in the Masjid/Jamat Khana?
A: A Jamaat khana or Musaalh is not the same as a waqf musjid. A waqf musjid is what we would consirder a musjid proper that is termed as the House of Allah. However be that as it may according most of our Senior Ulama pictures of animate objects irrespective of whether in digital or any other form are not acceptable, hence the correct thing would not allow these clips without the faces blotted out.
And Allah knows best
