Question:
What is the ruling on keeping pictures for remembrance?

Answer:
It is forbidden. It is not permissible to keep pictures for the sake of remembrance, because this is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He told Ali, “Do not leave any of their images except that you erase them.” He refused to enter the room in which pictures were hung until they were removed. Therefore, it is not permissible to keep pictures except out of necessity. A picture taken out of necessity, such as a passport, an ID card, or a driver’s license, is necessary, so you keep it out of necessity. As for anything else, for memories, for art, or the like, or for scenery, all of this is not permissible; it is severely forbidden. Yes.
