Beware of the #HajjSelfie - Shaykh Abdur Razzāq al-Badr said: When the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ͑ alayhī wa-sallam) reached the Miqāt he would say: "O Allāh make this a Hajj without Riya and without trying to be heard of." This supplication is said at the Miqāt. And after making this supplication it is followed by action and striving against the soul. But now at the Miqāt many of the people are taking pictures as mementoes. They take pictures on Tawāf, and Arafāt, and while throwing at the Jamrāt. It is as though the only purpose of this trip is to take pictures and it is not worship which they desire to see on the Day of Judgment as a great reward with Allāh. And when they return home they say: 'Come, look at me, this is me on Arafāt, this is me in Muzdalifah! And we have seen some of the people when they are ready to take the picture they raise their hands in the appearance of humility, fear, and tranquillity. And then after the picture is snapped they drop their hands. Were these hands raised for Allāh? No, by Allāh; these hands were only raised for the picture, and the picture was only taken to show off to the people. And when some of them return home they make photo albums!
