Sharing videos of people dancing

· 2 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible to share or to show a video of a group of people (men and women; women are unveiled) all together singing and dancing for a country leader who is not following Islamic laws? I was told that it is okay to share this type of video to others, because it is to show that there are people who are like this.

Answer

Dancing itself is impermissible and haraam, and to video it is haraam and to show it to others is another haraam.

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