The ruling on placing pictures of one's children on the mobile phone

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to place pictures of beings with souls on my mobile phone? For example, placing pictures of my young children or clips containing pictures of strange animals for the sake of reflection on the creation of Allah?

Answer:
It is not permissible to store pictures on the mobile phone, nor on any other device, nor in boxes. It is not permissible to store pictures, use them, or look at them. This is a matter that is not permissible, because this is using pictures and preserving them, and it is a forbidden matter.
