THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Question: What is your opinion regarding selling Islaamic films (videos) of living beings?

Response: There is nothing (no harm) in this; those films in which there is good, then there is nothing (no harm) in this, such as a khateeb or shaykh explaining beneficial things to the people, then there is no harm in transmitting this.
