Playing a role of a sinful person for sake of entertainment does not make one sinful. Therefore income will indeed be halal.

Also kindly watch Ghamidi Sahab video explaining this here at the time mark:

13:00 – 19:45

This is more determined by personal and cultural sensitivity as well as intention.

One should not use vulgar or abusive words in e.g poetry. Similarly it should not be used in acting either. If one does end up using abusive language or wear indecent clothes for the sake of acting (and their intention is not to promote such things) then we would advise them to stop but the sin isn’t committed until they make an intention to commit sin.

If a Muslim’s intention is to promote abusive language and indecency through any means then it is sinful and so the income is not halal. But if the intention is to simply act and not sin, in that decent intention he makes any mistake and crosses the line, then it is forgiven and the income is halal.

It is wrong but not to the level that his income will become haram.

As I said, if the intention is decent, then mistakes are forgiven at the moment. A person who is acting is usually following a script. The blame is more on the script-witer than the actor. In this case if a person is engaging in explicit sexual content (fawahish) then it is obviously wrong and they should not do it but anything less than that falls into sad-e-zariya.

Sad-e-zariya violations are not as wrong as major sins. In this case as I said, we will advise you to eliminate any type of vulgarity and abusive language we see, we may ask you censor the content if needs be. That would be our advice at that point. But the income will remain halal.

Income will become haram if the intention is wrong. If the Muslim in his heart wants to promote vulgarity and abusive language, if he is simply not following a script but rather wants to engage in sins, then it is all haram.

A story shown in a decent way is not vulgar. You must understand what fawahish means and ensure this does not exist in any art you make:
35:10 to 37:13

You didn’t understand the concept of fawahish. Fawahish is showing explicit sexual content like nudity, sexual acts, genitals, all for the sake of promoting sin.

As soon as you cut off explicit sexual content, it is not vulgar anymore. The films you are talking that imply that an affair happened or sexual relations happened but does not show it explicitly are not being vulgar as long as the purpose is to entertain. Unless the purpose of those films is, foremost, to promote vulgarity, not entertain, then they are not acceptable even if the scenes are not explicit.

This again comes under sad-e-zariya. One should not do that intentionally nor with the intention of committing or spreading zina even if it is not explicit.

One should cover up decently according to the established norms. In case someone exposes their awrah accidentally or misunderstood how much they should cover (as they might be focus on acting a role) then this will count as a mistake which is forgivable especially since it was not explicit. You will still be advised to be careful and cover up (to avoid zina) but this will not make one’s income haram.

Yes.

Everytime.

However, in case of sad-e-zariya, minor sins will only be added to the record if the final, major sin (zina) is committed.

Yes. Because at that point the sin changes, now you are promoting vulgarity in society intentionally.

The problem isn’t with the jewelry or showing it. The problem is zina. Always keep that in mind.

Women enjoy wearing jewellery but the jewellery wore on special occasion that really draws attention was told to be hidden so that they don’t attract unwanted attention and walk down the path that leads to zina. This is again about sad-e-zariya. Steps that leads to the major sin zina are minor sins.

Now women who show off their special jewellery must check their intentions.

If a women is doing so without realizing what she is doing, she is mistaken, it is not a sin and income is halal.
If a woman is doing so to walk down the path of zina, it is a minor sin but income is still halal.
If a woman is doing so with the intention of zina AND to promote vulgarity in society is committing a big sin, now she is sinful and her income is not halal.

Because promoting vulgarity to society intentionally in a public platform like acting is whole different sin and it no longer remains minor, it becomes something more serious.

Yes.

No, one is not accountable for it if there is no intention of promotion. The Qur’an also describes e.g the culture of Firoan and his evil of killing male children. For sake of telling news, entertainment and so on, it is expected to describe such details.

Now it is up to the consumer of the story. Whether they get inspired by the intended point of the story (harmless entertainment instead of promoting mazaar culture) or they choose to learn the wrong lesson from it.

As far as religion goes, principle is that anything that is not fawahish/vulgar is not sinful.

I already explained it here:

Zeenat should not be shown with the intention of committing zina. Whoever shows jewellery with the intention to attract attention of opposite gender is committing a minor sin. Whoever continues to commit this minor sin may eventually commit the major sin: zina. When zina is committed, all minor sins will be counted proceeding it and judgment of Allah will be harsher. This is why zeenat should not be shown. It is a first minor step towards zina which leads to eternal Hell when zina is finally committed.

When a Muslim understands this. They will naturally try to avoid zina and cover up zeenat naturally, avoiding wrong intentions. However exceptions exist. Sometime a Muslim will forget, sometime the goal is not zina, sometime a Muslim is misinformed and mistaken, here the matter is forgivable. Scholars like Ghamidi Sahab will advise such Muslims, make them understand that zeenat should not be shown as it is a path to zina and then the matter will be left to the individual to decide how they can avoid zina and it is possible that jewellery may be shown for a decent goal rather than a vulgar one but that is only possible when a Muslim is taught about what is the problem and what needs to be avoided: zina.

Islam About Acting And The Derived Income - Ask Ghamidi

Is income from acting halalThe actors touch each other, theres dancing etc also, according to the role the woman have to wear heavy jewellery for acting

1. Dressing and behaving as opposite gender is forbidden on the basis of deception being forbidden. I suppose if everyone knows the actor is just acting and there is no deception among everyone then it can be acceptable.

2. Playing character of non-Muslim is not wrong according to the latest video, doing acts of shirk for sake of acting is considered wrong. An actor can play a role of Hindu but they should not be prostrating to an idol since that act of prostration is made exclusive to Allah on His commands. I suppose this also applies to any shirk symbols as well, they can’t wear the Cross of Christianity indicating that Hazrat Isa is divine when acting even if they are just playing role of a Christian.

Also according to latest opinion, intention is no longer a factor in sadiqa-e-zariya so having intention of shirk or not, doesn’t matter. The act itself is not allowed (to avoid final act of shirk).

If one is doing acts like prostrating to idols in that character then part of that income is not halal (as their role may involve time where they are not doing any condemn-able acts so that part is halal)

If they are only playing non-Muslim character without any questionable acts, then it would entirely be halal.

Better to start a new thread and ask this question there as this thread has gone on too long.
