Assalamualaikum,

My sister-in-law is a female photographer, She wants to take a photoshoot of my wife and post it publicly on Social Media. My wife will be wearing a face mask and dressing will be modest, she does not wear hijab or niqaab but she dress modestly and no part of body except hairs are revealed.

I am not in favour of posting these pics on Social media and I am feared that I will become a Dayooth. That's why, I am asking my wife to refuse sister-in-law for posting pictures on Social media for marketing purpose. But my wife said, it's alright as she will not be revealing body parts. Therefore, she is not agreeing with me.

Kindly, some Ullema brother or sister shed their guidance on this matter and tell me how I can solve this conflict.

Wa Alaikum Assalam,

Brother, I understand this is a sensitive situation, and it’s clear your concern comes from a place of love and protection. Try to explain to your wife that your worry isn’t about mistrust or controlling her choices — it’s about how photos online, even modest ones, can be viewed by people with the wrong intentions. Let her know you admire her modesty but feel uneasy about the pictures being public. Ask if there’s a way to support her sister-in-law’s work without sharing personal photos. Keeping it calm, loving, and collaborative will help her see your heart. May Allah guide and bless your marriage with understanding and peace.
