Setting a picture as the background for a mobile phone screen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people set their own picture or the picture of someone they love as the background for their mobile phone screen. When advised against it, they say the matter is subject to scholarly disagreement. What is the guidance in this?
Answer:
Disagreement among whom? Who disagreed on this? The evidence is clear in this. We are warned about image-makers, and prohibited from possessing images, or having them in the houses, except for a Shari'ah excuse or dire necessity. So who is the one for whom it is permissible to take a picture of a friend and keep it for memories? Who is it? Show us who it is. Yes.
