Question
Asalamu alykumcan i capture photo in pose of reading Quran(holding Quran in hand) and can i make it facebook profile picture?? Is this comes in showoff??jazakAllah khairun
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
First of all, we ask Allaah to grant you success in all your affairs. We advise you that it is better to avoid posting your picture while you are holding the Quran in your hands and reading it because this may involves some showing off, self-praise and attraction of people's praise.
Indeed, a sincere believer should totally avoid anything that could lead to showing off. Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: "Ostentation includes displaying the inkwell (since it was a sign of a seeker of knowledge at that time)."
For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 83249.
Allaah Knows best.
