The Ruling on Keeping Images in Electronic Devices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on keeping images via modern electronic devices such as computers and the like?
The Shaykh:
Keeping images or surahs. What does he want?
The questioner:
What happened with the image?
The Shaykh:
Images with the letter sad. Yes, indeed. It is not permissible to keep images, my brother. It is not permissible to keep images; rather, they must be destroyed and obliterated. Do not leave an image without obliterating it, except for the necessary images you need for your affairs, such as a driver's license or an ID card, matters you cannot do without in your interests. These are kept out of necessity for the sake of necessity. As for anything else, tear it up. Do not keep it for memories or for art or the like. Do not hang it on the walls or store it in boxes. Yes.
