It is forbidden, my brother. The camera is image-making. A camera is a tool for image-making, and image-making is not permissible. Also, the image-making is bad because they photograph women and parties, and there is indecency and evil in it. It is not permissible to sell the phone that has a camera; it is not permissible to sell it or buy it. Because it is a tool for corruption and destruction, and at the very least it is a camera, and a camera is not permissible to buy or sell.
