The ruling on photographing inanimate objects and photographing women at weddings

Question:
Is it permissible to photograph inanimate objects, such as trees, buildings, and water? And does the photographer bear any sin in doing so? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This refers to what the brothers mentioned in the seminar regarding this photography. It is necessary for those holding weddings to prevent anyone from photographing women. This question reminds me of what the brothers mentioned in the seminar, because it has reached me that some people photograph women at weddings. This is a great evil. I seek refuge in Allah. It may be recorded on films and other media, and it may be distributed here and there. This is a great evil. It is not permissible to allow anyone, whether a woman or a man, to photograph women. One must be cautious of this. If there is a woman at the wedding who photographs, she must be made to leave and prevented from attending, because this is a major condition. It may spread among the women, and a woman may photograph in order to receive a large amount of money and give them the films. We seek refuge in Allah. One must be cautious of this and warn these female photographers. It is also not permissible to photograph the bride and the groom. This is also a great evil, and its corruption is great. Photography itself is forbidden. Moreover, if it involves the bride, women, and women in adornment, it is more severe, more corrupt, and of greater harm. We ask Allah for safety. One must be extremely cautious of this affliction, whether from women or men. We ask Allah for safety. As for photographing a mountain or a tree, it does no harm. Photographing inanimate objects is like what Ibn Abbas said: if we must do it, then it is trees and stones. Yes.
