Is the income of a video editor halal if a customer adds music in the background?

In Djibouti, there is a video editor who specializes in editing YouTube videos for clients, focusing on finance and business topics. Many clients request background music to be added to their videos. The editor's concern lies in whether their income remains halal if the client chooses to add music themselves after the editing process, without the editor's involvement. This article explores the Islamic perspective on this scenario.

If the content of the video is halal, meaning it does not promote anything haram and the editor is purely involved in editing, adding subtitles, or creating thumbnails without contributing to any haram activity, then the income generated from this work is considered halal. As long as the editor does not collaborate on any haram aspects and delivers a halal end product to the client, the responsibility of what the client does with the video, such as adding music, lies with the client.

FAQ:

  1. Is it permissible for a video editor to work on content that may be halal but could potentially be modified by the client to include haram elements?

    • As long as the video editor's work itself is on halal content and does not involve any haram activities, their income from this work is considered halal. The responsibility for any haram additions made by the client lies with the client.

  2. Does the video editor need to inform the client about the permissibility of adding music to the video after editing?

    • It is not necessary for the video editor to dictate to the client what they can or cannot add after the editing is done. As long as the editor's work is on halal content, the income is considered halal regardless of what the client chooses to add later.

  3. How can a video editor ensure their income remains halal in such situations?

    • By ensuring that their own work is confined to halal activities and not contributing to anything haram, the video editor can uphold the halal nature of their income even if the client makes modifications post-editing.
