Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on photographic pictures for the sake of remembrance?
Answer:
It is not permissible. It is not permissible to keep pictures for the sake of memories. This is forbidden. The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not leave a picture except that you erase it. Only the necessary pictures that a person is compelled to have are permissible out of necessity, such as those a person needs for a license, an ID card, or a passport. These are necessary matters, and a dispensation is granted for them. As for keeping pictures for memories, this is absolutely not permissible; they must be destroyed. Yes.
