Asalamualaikum, I wanted to put a picture up of the Haram Sharif, and there are people in the picture, yet you cannot see any distict faces, just the back of the people, and certainly not their faces. I was told that this was permissable. I just wanted to clarify this and also I wanted to know whether or not it is permissable for me to take that picture and change it slightly with regards to the colouring by making it sharper and stronger and vibrant in colour. I was looking to hang this in my bedroom, and I was told that it isnt permissable to sleep with my feet pointing to the Qiblah, and so therefore not pointing to this pictre. However a sister told me that this is incorrect. Can i have some guidance on these matters. JazakAllah Khair. May Allah reward you. Asiya bint Ayub

Wa Alaykum Salaam Hope this helps insha'Allah although it is about the photographers themselves Shaykh Muhammad Ameen Ash-Shanqeeti (raheemahullah) said in his explanation of the statement of Allah, Azza Wa Jal: {And purify my house for the people making tawaaf (circumambulation), and their standing, bowing and prostrating (in prayer)} (Al Hajj:26): "And without a doubt, the entering of photographers into the the Holy Masjid and around the house of Allah with cameras and their taking pictures of the people making tawaaf (circumambulation), and their standing, bowing and prostrating (in prayer): (All of) that is in opposition to what Allah Allah has ordered from cleansing his house for the people making tawaaf, and their standing, bowing and prostrating (in prayer). So desecrating the holiness of Allah's House by taking pictures in it is not permissible. Because taking pictures of people is prohibited as is proved by authentic ahadeeth and the apparent meaning of the ahadeeth includes ALL types of pictures. Refer to the book: "Adwa Al Bayaan" the Tafseer of Shaikh Ash-Shanqeeti Surah Al Hajj: 26 Allahu, Allahu Rabee, La Ushriku Bihi Shay'an
