Question<\/strong>: What is the ruling on changing the face of a person, that is: his image, via the app Snapchat and it has become widespread among the youth? May Allah reward you with good.<\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>: “This is prohibited and from the plot of Shaytan. He promised that, when Allah cursed him and distanced him [from the Paradise], he (Iblis) said:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e\u0644\u0622\u0645\u064f\u0631\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u064f\u063a\u064e\u064a\u0651\u0650\u0631\u064f\u0646\u0651\u064e \u062e\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650<\/strong><\/h4>\n

And indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah [4:119]<\/p>\n

So they change their form and their features by imitating the disbelievers or imitating women. Yes”<\/p>\n

Some of these Snapchat filters distort the image of a person by making them appear as an animal, or make a woman appear as if she has a beard, or a man appear as if he is a woman with make-up on, or turn a person’s face into that of devil etc. All of these are prohibited matters according to the Legislation.<\/p>\n
