Is it permissable to appear on a Instructional video?
Question
I have been asked by the company I work for to make a video showing good merchandising techniques which they want to distribute to all the stores in the company. Is it permissable to do this?
Answer
Producing a video using animate objects like people, animals, etc. falls under the category of picture-making which is strictly prohibited in Islam. Producing a video without such objects in it is permissible.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
