The Ruling on Images Exceeding the Necessary Need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When I get a photograph taken for a necessary need, the person doing it takes six pictures of me, resulting in six photos, but I only need two. What should I do with the rest? Should I leave them with him?
Answer:
Yes. You take what you need. We said that necessity is permitted to the extent of the necessity, so what exceeds the necessity is not needed. Yes.
