What is the ruling on photographing children for keepsake purposes?

Question : She says in one of her questions: Shaykh, regarding photographic photography of children, what is its ruling, and what is the ruling on photography with a video camera?

Answer : As for photography that is done on paper and taken for the sake of a keepsake, I see that it is forbidden (haram) and not permissible. But if it is for a valid purpose, such as a passport or a driver's license, then there is nothing wrong with it out of necessity. As for the word "video," it is not photography in reality, because the image is not printed on a video tape. And if it is not photography, then there is nothing wrong with it. May Allah reward you with good. Thank you to the sister questioner.
