Taking pictures of women in hijaab to promote hijaab

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2020-09-15 07:30

Q: I have started an online hijab business and want to promote the hijab. Would it be permissible to have women wearing my hijab on my hijab website? They will be fully covered with no awrah showing and they will not beautify themselves for the pictures. With this business I would also like to influence young women to wear the hijab and talk about Islam and my journey again, I will be fully covered and will not beautify myself for the videos. Will this be permissible? My intentions are to promote the hijab not to promote beauty which is why they will be fully covered and wearing the hijab properly.

Pictures of silhouettes, limbs of a person and pictures with no face

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2020-08-25 06:34

Q: I draw and paint for a hobby but I am confused on this topic Islamically due to many different opinions. Is it permissible to:

1. Draw a full body picture without the eyes, nose and mouth?

2. Draw a limb on its own. (e.g. a hand holding a flower). But it is connected to the end of the paper. Does it have to be drawn severed?

3. Draw a full body with an umbrella covering the head?

4. Draw silhouettes of living creatures e.g. humans, birds, etc. (If this is not permissible then can I draw birds as a 'm' shape in the distance?)
