Question:
What is the ruling on using mobile phones equipped with cameras?

Answer:
The camera is not permissible because it is a tool for image-making. As for the mobile phone used for calls without a camera, there is no harm in it. As for the camera, it is a tool for image-making, so one should not carry it, because one might use it to take forbidden images, and there is no good in it.
