Question

I have been asked by the company I work for to make a video showing good merchandising techniques which they want to distribute to all the stores in the company. Is it permissable to do this?

Answer

Producing a video using animate objects like people, animals, etc. falls under the category of picture-making which is strictly prohibited in Islam. Producing a video without such objects in it is permissible.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
