Q: For a male, is the work of a hand/foot photo shoot model permissible? For example: One will wear a watch of a certain brand. Pictures will be taken of the hand with the watch. Those pictures will then be used for advertising on billboards, in magazines etc. The same with a shoe, for example. There will be no animate images. Payment will be made per photo shoot. It will be an amount decided beforehand acceptable to both parties.
A: If it is just the hand of a male without the head then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
