I use stock videos for my YouTube channel and some of the business meetings videos I use has non-hijabis that work in the workplace. Is it halal to use that footage?
Wasalam
May Allah bless you.
That will depend on whether scholars believe hijab is compulsory or not. If you want to avoid controversial matters then you can avoid using the footage. If you are unsure, then best to consult a few fatwa department on this matter.
And Allah knows best!
actually this matter is quite confusing to me. If we assume that hijab is compulsory, does that mean we can’t interview non-hijabi woman, or if I was a photographer, does that mean I can’t take pics of them. I feel if that is the case, that means we pretty much can’t take videos of people walking in the streets since it will have non-hijabi woman. Am I overthinking or is that the case?
ASSLAMUALUKOM Brother.
Have you find any answers?
