The ruling on keeping pictures of children on the mobile phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I keep pictures of my children on my mobile device, on the mobile phone. Is that permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible to carry pictures for the sake of memories or for any other reason. This is only permissible for necessary pictures that you need to manage your affairs and interests. As for pictures for the sake of hobby, art, or memories, that is not permissible. It is obligatory to destroy them; do not leave a picture without erasing it, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
