I want you to know that despite all your efforts in refutation of digital pictures being permissible, the U.K internet morons are trying very hard to

Answer

The conflict between Haqq and baatil will continue until the end of the world. Allah Ta'ala has created this dunya to be the arena for this conflict. It is an ongoing process. In this era there is a glut of ulama -e-soo'. According to the ulama-e-soo', pictures produced by modern technology such as video and digital pictures are not pictures, but are reflections. Every person whose brain is in the state of equilibrium can understand that this argument is moronic. It is an insult to intelligence to claim that a picture is not a picture simply because of method of production. If a picture is drawn or painted it is a picture, but if it is produced by modern technology then it is not a picture! Only ulama-e-soo' with convoluted brains are capable of making a mockery of their intelligence by presenting such absurd and stupid arguments.

Furthermore, the evils on the basis of which the Shariah has banned pictures of animate objects are infinitely magnified more than the pictures drawn by hand or brush. The current time is the worst age of immorality, pornography, sexual perversion and the like, and all of this moral filth and corruption are primarily disseminated to the world by means of pictography of the modern kind.

The Mujlisul Ulama has published five books explaining in detail the colossal error of those molvis who have either failed to understand the simple issue of digital pictography or who are deliberately feigning stupidity for ulterior nafsaani objectives. Hitherto, all the legalizers of haraam pictures have miserably failed to respond with rational Shar'i arguments to refute our dalaail. Utterly bankrupt in the sphere of dalaa-il, they scrape the barrel of jahaalat by proffering names of molvis and sheikhs who maintain permissibility purely on the basis of their opinion unsubstantiated by Shar'i proofs.

Mufti Taqi and Mufti Rafi Usmani no longer represent the Maslak of Deoband. With their liberalism, they have rendered themselves person'a non grata from the Shar'i perspective.

The aforementioned 'fatwa' issued by the other Madrasah in Deoband is a watered down, fencesitting opinion. It is not the Fatwa of Darul Uloom Deoband. The Fatwa of Darul Uloom Deoband is still a strict prohibition. There is no Shar'i substance in the opinion of Darul Uloom Waqf. It is highly erroneous to aver that "it is better to avoid all kinds of photographic and video imaging". It is not 'better', it is Waajib since all forms of pictures of animate objects are Haraam. The molvis and sheikhs of this age have lost the Path - Siraatul Mustaqeem, hence all these bootlicking corrupt 'fatwas' of the nafs.

Anyone interested to know the truth, should read the books of Mujlisul Ulama of S.A. on this issue.

Darul Uloom Waqf Deoband is not the original Darul Uloom Deoband. This is another Madrasah which had broken away from the main Madrasah. Furthermore, even this fatwa clearly says that video images should not be used for tabligh and Islamic purposes.
