Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the validity of the common belief that the pictures of the deceased cause him to be punished in his grave?
Answer:
This has not been transmitted, but if he consented to being photographed and his picture remains and is displayed, he is sinful for this, because he approved of what is wrong. If he approved of this—displaying his picture and keeping it for memories—he is sinful for this, because he approved of what is wrong, whether he was alive or dead. Yes.
