Q:

Is selling feet pictures/videos as a woman without showing your face or body on the internet (to people with foot fetishes probably) haram ? If so is it considered zina or any type of zina ?

-I I do not have a foot fetish personally -Selling feet pictures/videos to get out of severe abuse and financial issues -This is so embarrassing as I have halal jobs but they are not enough to make me buy a safe home and my severely severely abusive dad is going to kick us out of our home, my family is so depressed and I just want to help my mom to find a way as fast as we can and I heard that selling feet pictures/videos is the fastest way to make money online – if it is haram and not zina I will earn the haram money and blend it with our halal money to buy a home after that I will stop selling feet pictures/videos and work halal jobs and donate the amount of haran money I made (from selling feet pictures/videos) to muslims in need to get rid of it inshallah. I know it is a risk but we really need it. Thank you and please help me out

A:

It is not a good idea for you to make money by starting a business that is either unlawful or dubious. Even if you could make some money through such means and methods, you ought to know that you will find no blessings in such income. Such earnings will only be a source of loss and regret and may end up depriving yourself of salvation.

Therefore, I would advise you against entering into such trade or business.

You should open your mind and find other creative ways of working to support yourself. Once you are open to exert yourself and trust in Allah and seek His help, Allah will help you.

The Prophet said, “Whoever seeks self-sufficiency through the means that Allah has made lawful; Allah will make him self-sufficient.”

You may do well to keep offering the following duaa

Allahumma aghninee bi halalika an haramika wa bi ta’atika an ma’siythika wabi fadlika amman siwaka

(O Allah, make me self-sufficient with what You have made halal for me so that I do not need to turn to that which You have made haram for me; make me self-sufficient with Your obedience so that I do not end up disobeying You; make me content with Your favor so that I do not need to look for the favor of others.”)

Almighty Allah knows best.
