Saudi Arabia Bans Selfies in Haram in Makkah & Masjid-Un-Nabawi

julielapadite

Saudi Arabia has banned pilgrims from taking selfie photos and videos using any devices for any purpose at Islam's two holiest mosques, effective immediately.

Indonesia’s Jakarta Post reports that visitors to the Haram in Makkah and Masjid-un-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) will be prohibited from taking photographs or videos at the two holy sites.

Saudi authorities say the ban will prevent unnecessary disturbances for those who wish to worship without distractions.

The Jakarta Post also reports that security guards have been instructed to “confiscate the photos and the camera if needed.

With the advent and advancement of camera smartphones in recent years, many pilgrims to both holy sites have posted pictures on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter which shows their favourite scenes including tawaaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba, trying to kiss Hajre Aswad (the black stone) or standing near the green dome of the Prophet’s (PBUH) masjid.

Several scholars have spoken out against "selfie fever" as "touristy behaviour".

Famous scholar Sheikh Abdul Razzaq Al-Badr warned against taking photos during Haj, saying: “When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reached the Miqaat he would say: ‘0 Allah make this a Hajj without riya (showing off) and without trying to be heard of.’

Selfie, video call, video recording kat kaabah memang mengganggu jemaah nak tawaf. Menghalang tawaf jemaah. I pun baru balik umrah ader kes depan i, a man buat video call time tawaf, terus sorang jemaah lelaki pegang tangan dia yang pegang hp dan suruh dia keluar dari tawaf. And he did. Tak hormat jemaah lain yang nak tawaf. Lagipun ader doa2 yang afdal dibaca time tawaf.

Mcm mn diorg nak tau pondan ke perempuan betul?kena raba telur atau kote dulu ke?

Utk tak off topic, aku rasa memang wajar haramkan selfie, ambik gambar dan video kat masijdil haram, masjid nabawi dan lain2. Lepas tu upload kat media sosial. Done itu done ini, lepas tu letak caption merapu.
Entah apa tujuan tak taula
Betul kan niat. Fikirkan apa tujuan sebenar ibadah umrah dan haji
