Advice on photography with video and mobile phones

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, many people have become lax regarding photography, especially with video and mobile phones, and some of them display signs of goodness. What is your advice, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
This is undoubtedly a trial (fitnah). Satan always leads people to trials and presents the most dangerous things. Yes. And he entices them. It is a fitting matter. It is of the work of Satan.
People’s defense of photography and their heedlessness regarding its prohibition and its consequences, this is from Satan’s incitement to them. It is obligatory. One must be alert to these matters. A person. He is not in need of photography.
Of the image? But if he is compelled to the image, then... the return is stopped. What does not remove the necessity, such as photographing a person to prove the identity card, or photographing for the passport, the travel document, or photographing in accidents to prove crimes in order to know the criminal, these are necessary matters, and other than that, there is no need for it. Yes.
