Question

Can I create martial arts videos to sell if the head and faces of the paticipants are covered completely?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The selling of martial art videos will be permissible as long as the head and faces of the participants are deleted. Furthermore, there should be nothing else unIslamic in the video, for example music etc.
