Question
University exams are now taking place online. The university requires students to take pictures of themselves before and during the exams for verification purposes. Is it permissible to take these pictures?
Answer
Allah Ta'ala requires Mu'mineen to abstain from haraam. Pictures are haraam. Most certainly it will not be permissible to indulge in a kabeerah sin for the sake of the jeefah (carrion) of this dunya. Haraam photos for writing exams are never permissible. This is a small and insignificant test for one's Imaan.
