Question
Can we use virtual reality to learn about hajj and umrah?
Answer
Pictures of all animate objects are haraam in Islam. There are Hajj kitaabs available which are prepared by reliable Ulama. One should study these Hajj kitaabs as well as refer to the Ulama.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
