The Ruling on Photography for Remembrance and Keeping Pictures

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on photography if it is for remembrance and for keeping pictures?

Answer:
Image-making is forbidden; its default ruling is that it is forbidden, and it is one of the major sins in all its forms. Nothing of it is permissible except what is for dire necessity only. A person makes images to the extent of the necessity if he is compelled to do so for the sake of people's minds or for a passport, and his work is blocked from him without it. This is a necessity. Allah the Exalted said: He is forbidden from his interests, so it is permissible for him to make images to the extent of the necessity.
As for photography for memories, photography of landscapes, or artistic photography, which they call the art of photography, where they learn photography and the arts of photography, this is forbidden. The photographer is cursed, as in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari and others. Yes.
