The Ruling on Photography in the Sacred Precinct

Question:
The questioner asks: Is there any advice for those who engage in excessive photography in the Haram, to the point where the Haram has become like a place for tourism and photography?

Answer:
Image-making is forbidden in the Haram and elsewhere; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers, and informed that they are the most severely punished of people on the Day of Resurrection, and that they are the most unjust of the unjust. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in what he narrates from the Qudsi Hadith, that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: meaning image-makers. Image-making is forbidden, strictly forbidden, and it is a major sin among the major sins. And if it is in the Haram, it is more severe. And whoever does it in the Haram, the ruler punishes him with a severe punishment, so image-making is not permissible, neither in the Haram nor elsewhere, but it is more severe in the Haram, refuge is sought in Allah. Yes.
