Ruling on Keeping Pictures

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have pictures of my children. I want to keep them so that I can show them to my wife’s family, if anyone asks. I want to keep them so that I can show the pictures to my wife’s family, and it is not a big deal.

Answer:
If the pictures remain with us, you must hasten to destroy them, because they are forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the angels do not enter a house. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
do not leave its image,لعلي لا تدع صورته،
If.إذا.
you have erased itطمستها
So it is not permissible to keep pictures for the sake of memories; they must be destroyed immediately. Yes.
