Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. He says: What is the ruling on a person who prays while carrying in his pocket a mobile device that contains pictures and songs, and perhaps obscenity?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a person to enter the mosque with pictures, except for necessary pictures on his ID card, or in his passport, or in his residence permit if he is a worker; because he needs to carry these items in case he needs them, if they are present, these are necessary.
As for pictures that he does not need, it is not permissible to carry them, because it is obligatory to destroy them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Ali ibn Abi TalibRiyad as-Salihin 1687. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said Sunan Ibn Majah 3649Sahih (Darussalam) So the pictures that a person does not need for a necessary need, meaning that it is obligatory for him to destroy them.
And as for the mobile phone, the mobile phone is a device. If he needs it to send messages or to receive calls on it, and he does not want it for photography, but only for communication, then there is no harm in that. But he should take a mobile phone that does not have a camera, this is safer for his conscience, and better for him, and further for him from the means of evil. Yes.
