Question:
He says: What is the ruling on taking pictures with a mobile phone, as we see in the Haram?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take pictures, neither with a mobile phone nor with a camera, nor by drawing with the hand, nor by any other means. Taking pictures is forbidden in all its forms, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers and informed that they will be the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection. So all forms of image-making are forbidden, whether of beings with souls in the Haram or elsewhere. And image-making in the Haram is more severe, because sin in the Haram is more severe than sin outside the Haram.
