Question

I have started an online hijab business and want to promote the hijab. Would it be permissible to have women wearing my hijab on my hijab website? They will be fully covered with no awrah showing and they will not beautify themselves for the pictures. With this business I would also like to influence young women to wear the hijab and talk about Islam and my journey again, I will be fully covered and will not beautify myself for the videos. Will this be permissible? My intentions are to promote the hijab not to promote beauty which is why they will be fully covered and wearing the hijab properly.

Answer

The head should be totally deleted.

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

Are photographs and taking pictures permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
