Question
Is it permissible to listen to the bayaan of a senior Mufti whose picture appears on videos and facebook?
Answer
Firstly, videos are haraam. Pictures are haraam. It is not permissible for any person to allow his bayaan to be videoed. It is haraam for both men and women to look at the picture of the moron (jaahil) molvi whose picture is displayed whilst he gives a bayaan. The women will be committing zina of the eyes when they look at the haraam picture of the jaahil molvi. It is not permissible to listen to the bayaans of fussaaq molvis regardless of their seniority.
