Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to photograph my children using my mobile phone and then keep these pictures on it?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to possess pictures except out of necessity. As for possessing pictures for the sake of memories or such, it is not permissible.
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لاَ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ
Sunan Ibn Majah 3650Hasan (Darussalam)
If you do not want the angels to enter, there is no Muslim here who wants the angels to enter his house, yes.
