Photographing a Person Without His Knowledge
Question
Is it permitted to photograph someone without his knowledge and send the photo to someone else, if he has not done anything wrong or anything of that sort, and it is in a public place?
Answer
Hello and blessings
If it does not bother the person being photographed, it is permitted. If it does bother him, it is forbidden because of “Love your fellow as yourself.”
