Thus the trust and confidence for the companions of the Prophet and their prestige and standing in the hearts of the Muslim viewers decrease. No matter how careful one may be to represent the truth, these movies contain lies and backbiting, and depict the companions and show them in the hearts of the people as dispraised and inferior. The objective of movie producers is to gain material benefit. Revising their lives in the form of a scenario or movies is contradictory to the praise that Allaah reserved for them, and is degrading to the high status that Allaah assigned and preserved for them.Ģ) Usually the actor in the role of any companion is a person who lacks righteousness, piety, and Islaamic moral standards in his daily life. The following is a summary of the decision:ġ) Allaah has praised the companions and illustrated their high status and elevated their standard. The Fatwa of the Permanent Committee is number 4923 dated A.H, and the decision of the Supreme Committee of Scholars is number 13. The Permanent Committee for Scientific Research and Islaamic rulings in Saudi Arabia as well as the Supreme Committee of Scholars have previously published a Fatwa regarding this movie, and it is not permissible to depict the companions. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.
