The Ruling on Keeping Childhood Photos for Remembrance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on keeping one or two photos of myself when I was young for remembrance?

Answer:
It is not permissible to keep pictures, whether of yourself or of anyone else, for the sake of memories, because it is forbidden to have pictures and their presence in homes except out of dire necessity.
