Answer #153344
Fatwa:1228-1123/H=11/1438
In the name of ALLAAH, the all Merciful, the ever Merciful
Since video recording comprises of picture-making (photography) & this (photography or picture-making of living beings) being haraam is self-evident (i.e. It’s prohibition is established by nass qat’i (undeniable/absolute proofs) in Sharee’ah).
The abomination of the sin committed inside a Musjid is of an aggravated nature.
Then to upload & transfer it (i.e. video recording of a Deeni program) onto youtube is also a sin. To keep the Masjid clean & pure from such type of abhorred things (such as photography, videography of living things, etc.) is Waajib.
And only ALLAAH Ta’aalaa knows…
