Earning through Youtube videos

Question

My question is that whether earning through Youtube videos is halaal or haraam? If my video contains music with no vocals, would earning obtained from it be haraam?

Answer

Pictures of all animate objects are declared forbidden and haraam in Islam. Severe warnings have been sounded in the Ahaadith for the one who has any involvement in this grave sin. Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“Undoubtedly, the people subject to the worst forms of punishment on the day of Qiyaamah are those involved in picture-making.”

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
