salamz. i see theres alot of photography and video clips with images of people on sunni forum recently... is this halaal? i was always under the impression that photography is haram (thats the reason T.V is not permitted in islam) also i heard that any images, drawn, sculptured or sketched is haram and the angles dont enter that place where there is an image resembling that of a humane being? also can you tell me if this hadeeth is authentic:
narrated by abu hurairah (R.A): I heard the prophet salallahu-alaihiwasallam saying: ALLAH TA'AALA said: who will be more transgressor than the one who tries to create the likes of MY creatures. let him create an atom or let him create a grain or a barley seed.
(this hadeeth is sound and reported by bukhari and mulim)

note: scholars since old times have judged drawing and painting animate creatures unacceptable in islam as per this hadeeth, however they have exempted photography of people for necessary puposes such as passports and I.D's. as for portraits and photography for memory these are not allowed.
The above is extracted from 110 ahadth qudsi by Darussalaam.
Any comments?
