Is it a sin for friends to make HIDDEN CAMERA PRANKS to each other?

It is clear that we will not find such a question and its answer in our books. However, by considering the general rules of our fiqh, we can determine the verdict of such a joke or practice. Or we can say “it may be permissible if the following points are observed”:

1. It is forbidden to deceive, embarrass a believer, or cause him/her material and moral damage.

2. Male-female mixing or privacy is an inviolable line.

3. Bad words and behaviors are not acceptable for a believer.

4. It should be said that it is objectionable for the works that will cause the neglect of worship and compulsory humanitarian duties.
