Photographing a woman’s hand or foot on a mobile phone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to photograph part of her hand or part of her foot and keep it on her mobile phone? And does this fall under the hadith that a woman is 'awrah (a part of the body that must be covered)?

Answer:
What is the benefit of photographing her hand or her leg? What is the benefit? This is nonsense and is not permissible.
