Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the ruling on taking pictures with a mobile phone, whether they are still images or moving ones?
Answer:
Image-making is not permissible by any means, whether by mobile phone, camera, or drawing, due to the generality of the hadith, the generality of the hadiths regarding the prohibition of image-making, its being forbidden, and the warning against it. No distinction was made between one means and another, because what is forbidden is creating the image by whatever means it may be. Yes.
