Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have a mobile phone that contains a video camera and a photographic camera, and I use it for good, if Allah wills, such as recording lectures and other things, and sometimes I take pictures of my children at home. What is your view, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
As for recording conversations and recording the Qur'an, that is a good thing. As for photography, it is invalid and not permissible; photography is not permissible, it is forbidden. Photographing your children or photographing anyone else, photographing beings with souls is forbidden, and the one who does it is cursed, and he is among the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection, as stated in the authentic hadiths. So you must avoid photography. Yes.
