Taking your picture to a photo lab is similar and from the aspect of halal/haram its halal to send photos to people who don't know you, but I like to get a little complicated. If that was the verdict, then it would be alright to send pictures to people over the internet and say the person doesn't know who you are. I think in a photo lab with the amount of pictures flowing in, no one sits there and looks at the pictures individually analyzing every detail.Nenan said:I was curious for this question,I never took photo with my husband without Hijab because all our photos were taken in public with our relatives,my husband doesn't like pictures very much,do you think this photos without Hijab are necessary to proof the genuine of our marriage.
I think the Canadian Embassy needs to accommodate to Muslim Canadians by ensuring that the officer who looks at the pictures is a woman. Otherwise I don't think it's appropriate to be stepping down on our rights and giving pictures just to prove we're married. It's unfortunate though, most girls who come down to Iraq or other countries to sponsor a man for money will also do anything required in order to get the money. I also have a friend who sent very impersonal pictures with the hijab and she got approved. I guess it all depends.
Good luck to all, and I will keep you posted and let you know what happens and what type of questions were asked.
Kind Regards,
