Loaning money to a friend for auditioning for modeling and acting

Question Detail:

Peace and blessing be upon you ya Shaikh, 

Answer :

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Brother in Islaam,

Modeling and acting is haraam. It violates many laws of Shari’ah. We advise against loaning money to your friend for modeling and acting. Allaah Ta’aala says,

ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان

Translation: “And do not assist one another in sin and transgression.” (Al-Maaidah v.2)

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
