Picture being taken while one is unaware
Question
Today in the world, there are cameras everywhere. If someone takes your picture and you are not in full niqaab then what are the rulings of Islam?
Answer
Try your best to be covered at all times. If after trying your best someone takes a picture of you then he is sinful. If you can somehow get that picture destroyed you should do so.
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.
