Question

When a woman is pregnant she usually has an ultrasound at each visit. Will it be permissible to keep the baby scan and show others? Does it fall under the same catergory as taking a CT or ultrasound scan of any part of the body?

Answer

This is part of the private area. Hence, it cannot be shown. At such moments and times parents should be turning more to Allah Ta`ala with humility, begging for the goodness of the child and the child's good future, not showing off in this way.

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.”
