Do ultrasound images of a pregnant woman come under the same ruling as images of ‘awraat that it is haraam to look at?
Question

                Is an ultrasound picture of a pregnant lady part of her awrah? Is she allowed to show the scan photo to other people or is this considered her awrah and not to be shared?
Praise be to Allah.
	Ultrasound images are images of which the features are not 
	clearly defined, and the one who looks at them can hardly make anything out, 
	because this refers to an image that is formed from dark and bright spots, 
	the details of which are known to specialists, doctors and others.

	Based on that, the image that is produced by ultrasound is 
	not regarded as coming under the heading of ‘awraat that it is haraam to 
	uncover and must be concealed. But the matter of dignity and decency is 
	broader than the issue of halaal and haraam. Based on that, the woman should 
	conceal these images from strangers (non-mahrams), out of a sense of modesty 
	and dignity, because it is not dignified for her to show them to such 
	people, except in the case of necessity or need, such as a doctor who is 
	treating her, for example.

	And Allah knows best.
