Photo shoots
Question
For a male, is the work of a hand/foot photo shoot model permissible? For example: One will wear a watch of a certain brand. Pictures will be taken of the hand with the watch. Those pictures will then be used for advertising on billboards, in magazines etc. The same with a shoe, for example. There will be no animate images. Payment will be made per photo shoot. It will be an amount decided beforehand acceptable to both parties.
Answer
If it is just the hand of a male without the head then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
