Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: What is the ruling on photographing small children via mobile phone for remembrance?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take images in any way, neither via mobile phone, nor via camera, nor via drawing, nor via sketching, due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Every image-maker is in the Fire."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5357Sahih (Darussalam) They exaggerate in the creation of Allah.
All image-making is forbidden, whether for children, adults, or women, via camera or otherwise; whatever constitutes image-making is forbidden by the explicit texts of the hadiths, and there is a severe warning against it, and no exception is made for necessary images.
For permissibility, or for an ID card, or for a driver's license—images that have become a necessity for people's needs. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: I wish to clarify[Al-An'am 6:119] what He has forbidden for you, namely the necessary images truly required for need.
As for what is other than that, it is forbidden for remembrance, or for anything else, or for art, or otherwise; all of it is forbidden.
