TV and movie pictures and video pictures

TV and movie pictures and video pictures
I have a question regarding pictures -Are pictures that are manafactured through means such as video, computers etc.
(i.e. they come on and off the screen)permissable? Can you please verify this with proof and evidence?
Praise be to Allaah.

The ruling on a thing depends on the way in which it is perceived. It is essential to know how the picture-making you refer to is done. The author of Risaalat Ahkaam al-Tasweer (The ruling on picture-making) said:

1. Movie pictures or pictures on a cinema film:

This is a method which transmits moving pictures with sound for a limited time span, showing all the events that happened within this time frame. The picture which is shown by the film on the screen is the shadow or reflection of that thing, not its real essence, after it has been recorded on the film. It says in al-Sharee’ah al-Islamiyyah wa’l-Funoon (Islamic sharee’ah and the Arts) that the cinema is called [in Arabic] akhyaliyyah [from khayaal, meaning shadow or dim reflection], “because it shows the shadows of things, not their real essence.”

2 – TV pictures

This is a method which transmits pictures and sounds at the same time via an electrical impulse. This is the result of the effect of light from the object whose picture is being taken being reflected on a mica sheet which is covered with a vast number of tiny particles made of photosensitive material, manufactured from silver oxide and caesium, of which the particles are separated from one another and isolated electrically.

This kind of image-making using machines is very similar to the image on a movie film, but in TV pictures, the images are changed to electronic signals, then to electromagnetic waves, which are then either sent via antennas to be picked up by the receiving apparatus in TV sets, within the range that the signal can reach, or they are sent to be stored in the form of magnetic changes on plastic tapes that have been plated with the appropriate magnetic substance that can store these waves.

In order to show what has been recorded on these tapes after these waves have been stored, it has to pass through a machine which transforms it once more into electronic signals then sends it to a screen in the form of electrical signals, so that it appears as a picture, but only after a complex operation.

The TV set is the equipment which receives the electrical waves and gathers them, then transmits them in a regulated manner in the form of a picture with complete features.

There is another kind which is considered to be similar to this kind of image-making. This is something similar to the telephone which is used in some industrially-advanced countries, which transmits both the voice and the image of the speaker, so both parties can see one another on the screen of the device on which they are talking.

Similarly, there are cameras which are installed at the doors of houses. This system picks up the voice and image of the person who is coming to the house and transmits it to a screen inside the house, so that whoever is inside the house can see it clearly. And similarly there is equipment which is used to watch out for criminals stealing and so on in banks, stores, etc.

These kinds of equipment are considered to be of one kind, but are used for a variety of purposes, whereby the camera covers the area which is to be watched over, and it transmits the images to a screen like a TV, where the image appears clearly. New things are appearing all the time, and we do not know what will appear in the future. If this indicates anything, it indicates the mind-boggling expansion of the use of machines to make images of both kinds, both still and moving, in many areas, including manufacturing, war, security, education, medicine, social, etc.

Ahkaam al-Tasweer by Ahmad ibn ‘Ali Waasil, p. 65-67

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

With regard to pictures made in the modern fashion, they fall into two categories:

The first category is those which have no tangible substance (and can only be seen by running them through a machine), as I was told is the case with pictures on video tapes. There is no ruling at all concerning these, and they do not come under the prohibition at all. Hence the scholars who forbid making pictures with cameras on paper (photographs) permitted this (video pictures), and said that there is nothing wrong with this. Then it was asked, is it permissible to film lectures which are given in the mosques? The (scholarly) view was that it is better not to do that, because it may disturb the worshippers and because they may film things that may not be appropriate, and so on.

The second category is fixed or still pictures on paper (photographs) …

But the matter needs further discussion if one wants to make these kind of permissible pictures. For they are subject to five rulings which depend on the intention. If the intention is something forbidden, then it is haraam. If he intends something waajib (obligatory), then it is waajib. Sometimes pictures may be essential, especially moving pictures. For example, if we see someone in the act of committing a crime against a person’s rights, such as an attempt to kill and so on, and we cannot prove it in any way but by taking pictures, then in this case taking pictures becomes waajib, especially in cases where pictures may decide the case. The means are subject to the rulings on the ends. If we make these pictures in order to prove the identity of a person for fear that someone else may be accused of the crime, this is also acceptable, indeed it is essential.

But if we take these pictures just to enjoy looking at them, this is undoubtedly haraam... And Allaah knows best.” (See Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 2/197-199)

thanx for d understanding

Fellow Nigerians, let me confess that in over 30
years of writing no President has ever reacted
directly or positively to my constant admonitions,
lamentations or commendations. Rather, most of
the time, their aides, cronies and acolytes used
to fire darts and barbs at us from every
direction. We were called unprintable names that
our parents did not give us and by now we are
so used to being abused and harassed by those
who can never learn useful lessons from the
past. You can thus fathom a guess as to how I
must have felt when Femi Adesina’s call sneaked
in on me like a thief in the night.
I had written an article titled “A Desperate Memo
to President Buhari” in which I tried to let the
President feel the pulse of the people, especially
those who felt he was being too sluggish about
running the affairs of state. This memo to the
President came on the heels of an earlier
intervention titled “In Search of Patience” which
unfortunately failed to achieve its objective. My
mission had been to persuade my fellow citizens
about giving the President some time to settle in
before they start complaining about the pace and
tempo of governance. I soon realised that rather
than the dust settling down matters actually got
exacerbated. In the desperate memo, I then
attempted to tell the President some home truth
about the things he could do urgently and
without much ado. I took that chance because of
the fact that I knew him to be a voracious reader
of news, especially if it pertained to him. The
gamble certainly paid off.
The President and his key aides read the
“Desperate memo” which had gone viral. A
particular online newspaper chose to
sensationalise and slant the story in a manner I
never intended or envisaged. Their version was
garnished with salt and pepper by exhuming an
old picture of mine in which I had cried for my
mentor, Chief Moshood Abiola, and it was now
tilted and titled “Dele Momodu Weeps for
President Buhari”. If the idea was to draw a
wedge between me and the Presidency, it
actually backfired and failed woefully to paint me
as someone who has dumped President Buhari
within weeks of attaining power. One influential
man in the Presidential villa, Nura Rimi, actually
saw the post and felt sufficiently alarmed that a
key supporter like me should not be allowed to
turn his back on the Presidency. He mentioned
his fears to Special Adviser Media, Femi Adesina,
a childhood friend and brother from our early
days at Ife. They decided to intimate the
President on the necessity to reach out to me
immediately. The President gave his instant
approval.
I was away from the country when I received
Femi Adesina’s call. My initial reaction before
answering was that he was going to complain
and grumble like most of his predecessors who
only called whenever they felt you had written an
unsavoury piece about their principal. At the very
best, they would engage you in meaningless
rigmarole, or issue veiled threats, by accusing
you of being paid by their enemies. But Femi was
refreshingly different. After exchanging
pleasantries, he said “Bob Dee, the President
would want to have a one-on-one meeting with
you after reading your latest article.” The
message sounded too unusual to be true
because I had always seen Nigerian Presidents
as the most unreachable human beings on earth.
I told Femi I would be more than happy to head
back to Nigeria to meet a man who has restored
hope and dignity to every Nigerian.
The only problem was how to find a slot to
squeeze me into the President’s over-tight
schedule. I waited for about a week without an
appointment and then suddenly I got a text from
State Protocol: “Good morning sir. A window for
you to see Mr President on Wednesday 15th July
between 14.45 and 15.00hrs in his office has
been created. Kindly note accordingly… SCOP” A
similar text was also forwarded to me from
Femi. I was pleasantly surprised when I received
a written notice of audience from Permanent
Secretary, State House, Engineer Nebolisa O.
Emodi. Subsequent follow-up calls were made to
my Lagos office as reminders to me.
The level of professionalism and efficiency
displayed was commendable. It was a radical
departure from the past when I met a previous
Nigerian President in London and was invited to
meet him in Abuja. I came for the appointment at
the scheduled time but was unable to see him
for days. The Chief Security Officer at the time
was not so friendly. He took me into his office
and lectured me on all the no-go areas of
discussion in the Presidential Villa, which
rendered my visit totally useless.
The Aso Rock I returned to last Wednesday was
virtually transfigured. All the security checks
were professionally handled. The guys were strict
but friendly about it. Some even joked about
following me on social media. In a matter of
minutes, I was welcomed into Femi Adesina’s
office by Senior Special Assistant, Media and
Information, Garba Shehu. It was a happy
reunion for the three of us old friends and I felt
very much at home. I told Femi I wanted to pay
courtesy call on the State House correspondents
before meeting the President. I always give
priority to my colleagues no matter how junior
and went round shaking hands with most of
those on duty. I promised to address them after
meeting the President.
The day was made extra-special by the presence
of the iconic diplomat and former Secretary-
General of The Commonwealth, Chief Emeka
Anyaoku, whose appointment to see the
President was just ahead of mine. A great fan of
my column, he came into the waiting lounge and
he spoke for a couple of minutes with Femi and
I. He inspired me as usual with his oratorical
skills. “Dele, I continue to read your column with
relish” he said matter-of-factly!
Thereafter, I was soon invited to climb the stairs
leading to the President’s office. Since there was
no prior agenda sent about the topic of
discussion, I had visualised the likely scenario
and rehearsed accordingly. I also jotted down
some salient points because I was determined to
maximise the 15 minutes allotted to me without
overstaying my welcome. For me, it was a rare
honour and privilege to sit down all by myself
with the President of Africa’s greatest nation. It
was important to pour out the boisterous
content of my soul in a jiffy.
As time ticked away while I waited, I engaged
myself in an interior monologue, otherwise
known as stream-of-consciousness in Literary
Appreciation. Then came the appointed time and
I was ushered into the President’s room. I was
stunned to see the President already waiting for
me by the door. Though we had met on two
previous occasions, I didn’t quite know how this
particular meeting was going to pan out because
on those occasions he was still a co-contestant
at first and an aspirant/candidate on the latter
visit in London.
I’ve met several Presidents in and out of power
but the aura is never the same. The Buhari I met
at his holiday apartment in London about four
months ago, after his speech at Chatham House,
was not the Buhari I met and discussed with last
Wednesday. The new Buhari has the power to do
and undo. As the aphorism goes, he can turn a
certified and certificated pauper into an instant
billionaire with a mere stroke of the pen, and vice
versa. More importantly, the destiny of nearly
200 million complex beings resides within his
palms. Yet here was the powerful man himself
welcoming and leading me to a chair very close
to him.
President Buhari fired the first shot right from the
second I walked through the door: “Let me tell
the truth that I was forced to see you by your
friends here…” Wow, he would rather give credit
to his aides. That was uncommon in our clime.
The President was not yet done on the issue
because as soon as I sat down, he fired another
salvo: “I don’t know if I should tell you this but I
suspect Femi is working for you!” and we both
exploded raucously. I’m loving this man more
and more, I told myself. By then, he had
inadvertently relaxed me totally and we were like
two old buddies. I had been told endlessly about
his supposed taciturnity; that you could sit with
him for hours doing all the talking while the
President would respond in only a few words.
But to my biggest bewilderment and pleasant
surprise, the President actually opened up to me
and responded to my suggestions. In short we
had a dialogue rather than the monologue I had
programmed myself to expect in a worst case
situation.
I was glad he had allowed two wonderful
photographers, Bayo Omoboriowo and Sunday
Aghaeze, to join us, as well as a cameraman
from NTA. It would have been sad to tell the
world the cordial nature of my meeting with the
President without solid evidence. This is because
he had asked everyone out after the photo-
opportunities were comprehensively dealt with. I
seized the opportunity to present a copy of my
forthcoming book, PENDULUM: A Book of
Prophesies, which is a compilation of some of my
landmark essays in the last five years or
thereabout. Not only did he show some
excitement, he actually requested for my
autograph: “Please, sign it for me so that people
could see I got the original copy from you…” he
said with that inimitable tinge of childlike
innocence. I couldn’t believe this was the same
over-demonised Buhari who had been
superfluously described in lurid colours by
political opponents. If he was play-acting before
me, then he must be a damn-good-actor, I
thought to myself coolly.
We went into our discussions proper after the
general interlocutions. I told him why I wrote the
“Desperate Memo” to him; Nigerians were
getting restless and impatient; they expect an
instant miracle; the momentum he gained during
the election was nose-diving and affecting his
super-brand; the opposition was already
creeping in and trying to take advantage… and
so on. The President said he was aware of
people’s expectations but they should exercise
some patience as they would realise his vision
and mission as events he was directing begin to
unfold. He sounded like a man who knows what
most of us don’t know. He’s the man in the
driver’s seat and only he can see the blind
spots.
I told him it is important to us that he succeeds
because our opponents don’t believe things can
be done better. I reiterated my belief that he
cannot hand over Nigeria to typical politicians to
run because they will wreck the entire process.
I’m certain his Party is going to witness another
combustion soon when he begins to assemble
his team because political leaders prefer their
lackeys to competent professionals. In spite of
Party supremacy, he should not allow them to
dump some garbage at his doorstep. He must
insist on nominations that meet his avowed
standards.
I suggested he should involve Nigerian
academics in governance like he did as Head of
State when he appointed Tam David-West,
Ibrahim Gambari and others as Ministers before
President Ibrahim Babangida repeated the same
style by appointing Wole Soyinka, Olikoye
Ransome-Kuti, Bolaji Akinyemi, Tai Solarin,
Sunday Olagunju, Sam Oyovbaire, and others in
various capacities. I theorised that the relative
success of INEC is attributable to the fact that
Professor Jega brought in many Professors who
did not have the propensity for accumulation of
wealth.
I told the President that he should do everything
possible to carry the youths along. I suggested
he could move a few of his important public
functions from campus to campus. I mentioned
how American Presidential debates and major
Presidential interactions are often held in a
university community with students in
attendance. I observed that this helps to inspire
the youths in no small measure. Any government
that has the youths behind it will ultimately
succeed.
The aspect of my submission that gave the
President amusement amidst the seriousness
was when I spoke about the importance of
searching for bright women to bring on board:
“Sir, I think women are better managers of
people and resources for several reasons…” I
posited that a woman cannot marry two or three
men simultaneously but a man can have four
wives and ten concubines at a go and this would
encourage corruption. I also elaborated further
by stating that women are more afraid of going
to prison than men. The President was filled with
mirth and exploded in laughter whilst
acknowledging the sense and sagacity of my
words.
The President confided in me that his three
biggest worries are insecurity, corruption and
power. He spoke a bit about how he planned to
address these issues. Finally, as he saw me off
to the door, he spoke about his efforts at
combating crime and terrorism and had kind
words for the Chadians in particular. He felt
proud about Chadian interventions on behalf of
Nigeria. He would love to see such cooperation
from other African countries.
On the whole, I had spent more than my allotted
time of 15 minutes but I believe both of us
concluded that we had a good and fruitful
discourse. Before I departed, I promised the
President my support and assured him that I
would always alert him of sensitive developments
needing his immediate attention through my
articles and Column.
May God grant our President favour to do
that which he fervently desires for Nigerians
and Nigeria! God bless our na

TV Continental (TVC).
DEMAND FOR APOLOGY AND RETRACTION ON
CALL FOR BAN ON USE OF HIJAB
The attention of the Muslim Students' Society
of Nigeria has been drawn to the
unfortunate, ill- conceived, ill-motivated
unwarranted and unmerited comment
made by one of your panelists on July 15,
2015 edition of the above mentioned
programme, in an attempt to suggest
measures to be taken by government to
bring to an end the menace of Boko Haram
in Nigeria.
We were taken aback by the call to ban the
use of HIJAB (veil) as a measure to curb the
evils perpetrated by the dreaded group on
the pretence that the group members use it
as a cover to attack unsuspecting members
of the public. We felt this suggestion was
not only pregnant but maliciously loaded
with bigotry and outright attack on the core
values and symbols of the Islamic faith and
the Muslim sisters. Why was there no call by
the panelist or the sponsors for the ban of
the use of cars, bags and even sells of
chemicals as these are also used by
members of the dreaded group to carryout
their devilish acts?
We therefore demand an expeditious
retraction of such a comment and an
apology for infringing on our right.
We want to reiterate that, as Muslims
guaranteed by Allah and the Constitution to
exercise our fundamental human rights
which include freedom to worship, we will
meet with serious resistance any attempt by
any individual, group or government under
whatever guise to ban the use of hijab as
this, will amount to denial of our right to
practise our faith.
The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria,
condemns in totality the activities of the
Boko Haram group and disregards its
purported affinity to Islam since it is clear
that the activities negate the true essence
and teachings of Islam. We assure the
nation of our unflinching support towards
genuine measures aimed at curbing the
menace of the group and all its overt and
covert sponsors and collaborators.

Tinubu the enviable political strategist

human right activist,Femi Falana, has
revealed that the constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, has no
provision for mace as a symbol of
authority in the National Assembly.
Falana, was the moderator at the
University of Ibadan community forum
interactive session for vice chancellorship
aspirants, held at the Trenchard hall, of
the university, on Monday.
Falana appealed to the aspirants to
consider independent student unionism
and fund as their main priority as
requested by the audience.
The issue became the common features
as raised by the audience to all the
aspirants. The development, then easily
gave the human rights activist an
opportunity to lecture the gathering on
future democracy.
According to Falana “In the area of
students unionism, I’m going to appeal to
this university administration or whoever
is taking over from the current vice-
chancellor to consider what is going on in
Abuja, particularly, the last outing by the
House of Representatives members when
they were fighting aimlessly and
meaninglessly over the mace.
“Mind you, I think there are law
professors here, in the entire constitution
of Nigeria, there are 320 sections,
nowhere is mace mentioned. It’s part of
the old parliamentary system. What the
constitution says is that House of
Representatives shall meet or convene
once it forms a quorum. In a quorum, is
one-third of the membership.
You cannot go to court and say because
there was no mace, the House of
Representatives or Senate is illegally
constituted.
