Applying for a job which requires an ID photograph

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I wish to apply for a certain job. The company requires that I submit a photograph of myself with the C.V. I think it is for identification purposes if when one is selected for an interview – but I am unsure. Is it permissible to apply for this job? I already have passport/ID photos, so I could use these without having to take any more photographs.

Bismillaah

A: If you have to, then make istighfaar and sincerely ask Allah’s forgiveness.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
