Videoing a person dying of cancer
Question
There is a video of a Muslim dying off cancer. The idea is to broadcast the message of his piety. Is it Islamic to video anybody dying. What are the consequences for the deceased if he gave permission to video and broadcast his death on social media after his death?
Answer
The picture maker will be under the worst punishment on the Day of Qiyaamat. May Allah save us and all the Muslims from such ignorance, stupidity and curse.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
