The Ruling on Keeping Pictures of Children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner, or rather a female questioner, asks: Is it permissible to keep pictures of children?

Answer:
It is not permissible to keep pictures of children and raise them with pictures, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers and said, "Do not leave an image without erasing it, and do not leave a raised grave without leveling it," just as he said that to the Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
