Question

Is it fine if I make youtube videos?

Answer

Pictures of all animate objects are declared forbidden and haraam in Islam. Severe warnings have been sounded in the Ahaadith for the one who has any involvement in this grave sin. Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“Undoubtedly, the people subject to the worst forms of punishment on the day of Qiyaamah are those involved in picture-making.”

Hence you should refrain from having any involvement in making videos.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
