Question
Inside the Musjid, affixed to the notice board is a warning not to take pictures/photos in the Musjid. The notice states that it is not permissible. But to my surprise video cameras have been installed in the Musjid. Is this not hypocrisy. Is it permissible to take pictures with a video camera inside the House of Allah?
Answer
It is haraam to take photos/ pictures with a video camera or to make pictures of animate objects in any way whatsoever even outside the Musjid. Within the Musjid the crime is of an aggravated nature. It is a major sin, and it testifies for the criminality and hypocrisy of the Musjid's imam and trustees..
