Question
A wealthy man who has more than sufficient wealth wishes to invest in another business. However, the investment requires that he submits his photograph with the application form. Will it be permissible?
Answer
For unnecessary expansion and ramification in the dunya merely to earn extra money, committing a haraam act is not permissible. There is no need whatsoever for the person mentioned in your question to invest in another business if he has to commit a Shar'i violation. It is not permissible for him to invest if the investment is reliant of him committing a sin, and that too a major sin.
