Hanafi Fiqh Today when I was offering my afternoon (Asr) salah I kept my employer ID card in front of me on which my passport size photo is there. My colleague asked me to keep the ID card in my pocket otherwise my salah will not be valid. I have following doubt: (1) How can the ID card or the photo on it may affect the validity of my salah? (2) If the photo does affect the validity of my salah then will it also affect if I put it in my pocket? My belief is it would not affect the validity of my salah. Please provide me the guidance in this matter. Answered by Darulifta-Deoband.org
Hanafi Fiqh Can we treat a video or photo as an evidence against or for any person in order to prove him guilty or not? If so, then video, photo must be allowed. As you know that videos, photos and many other things preserves events in a real time ie when it happens. So, to know the truth these techniques are extremely helpful to deliver the justice. Islam wants justice to be revealed at any cost and there must not be even an iota of injustice to anybody. In fact these techniques help us to know the truth and a person can not lie if he or she knows that his or her video or photo is taken and can be produced in a court. Like for example I have a shop which has video camera in it, so if somebody attempts to thief and his activities are captured by camera. So, is it allowed in Islam to produce that as an evidence against the thief in a court? If it is allowed then photography, videography must be allowed in Islam if not then why?
