An organisation of Sunni Muslim clerics have termed as 'haraam' the posting of pictures on matrimonial and social networking sites.

Bareilly An organisation of Sunni Muslim clerics here have termed as 'haraam' the uploading of photos on the internet for matrimonial purpose and on social networking sites.

The fatwa issued by Madarsa Manzar-e-Islam of Dargah Aala Hazrat came in response to a question posed by a man from Kanpur.

He had asked whether it was appropriate according to Islamic laws to post pictures on matrimonial and social

networking sites.

Mufti Syed Mohammad Kafeel replied that this action would be considered 'haraam'. However, he said bio-data could be posted on the internet without photo.

Imam of Shahi Jama Masjid Mufti Khurshid Alam said a fatwa of Mufti Azam Hind was already available in which he has termed photos without necessity as 'haraam'.

He, however, said a photo can be used for passport and other application forms wherever it is necessary.

According to the fatwa the photos of either side boy or girl is not allowed in Islam and other thing is that they can see each other in of their parents and if the couple agrees than nikka should be done according to Islam law

Nonsense by Anonymous on 21 Dec 2012

Then how do you find girls and marry? It reduces the chances of matchmaking in islam. These guys are useless fellows. They will issue fatwas and enjoy, others will suffer

Good by abdul on 21 Dec 2012

Online photos especially of women have been misused, this will prevent such misuse. For important events such as marriage, a personal meeting (in presence of parents etc) is a better way to make choice.

There is no need for issuing orders. It is a personal matter whether to upload photos or not. Clerics have no right to dictate the lives of commmon people.
