Some husbands take pictures with their wives for the sake of remembrance, so what is your guidance?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some husbands take pictures with their wives, either with a regular camera or on video, for the sake of remembrance?

Answer:
This is forbidden; taking pictures is forbidden and a major sin among the major sins. If it is a picture of the bride adorned and the husband, it is even more forbidden because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) involved. These are matters that are not permissible to do, nor to introduce into the religion, nor to introduce into the time. These are abominations that must be prevented. It is not permissible to take pictures for remembrance, neither in marriage nor otherwise; it is forbidden. It is only permissible to take pictures for a dire necessity that is unavoidable. Taking pictures for remembrance is forbidden and not permissible. Yes.
