Whatsapp video call

It is not permissible. The process adopted in video call is no different to any other conventional picture. The only difference is that it is being captured and reproduced in such quick succession through modern day technology that one feels that one is watching it live, whereas this is not the case. Hence, it is impermissible as it also enters under picture making.

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