Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the photographs that are on a mobile phone and taken with the mobile phone included among the forbidden images? And is it permissible to sell mobile phones that have a camera? And is it permissible to use them for taking pictures?
Answer:
Images in general, on mobile phones and otherwise, the hadith does not specify anything, and the ruling on photography is also general. It is forbidden to sell them, it is forbidden to sell them if they are specifically for photography. As for the mobile phone that you need for calls and communications, you disable the photography feature in it, you disable it completely, you do something to make it so it does not take pictures. Do not leave it and buy a plain one that has no camera. Yes. We say. This camera, or let it be in a state where it is not fit for use, or buy something that is free of a camera, and there are many such.
