Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on photography with a regular camera and a video camera, and keeping their pictures?

Answer:
Photography is not permissible in any way, neither by camera, nor by drawing, nor by sculpting. Photography is not permissible in all its forms, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “May Allah curse the image-makers.” He said: They will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be commanded to breathe life into every image they created in this world, but they will not be able to breathe life into it. This is part of their punishment, due to the severity of their punishment, and may Allah protect us from it. Therefore, photography is not permissible in all its forms except out of necessity. Photography that a person needs for his transactions and travel, such as a photo for a passport, an ID card, a personal identification card, or a driver’s license. These have become necessary, and they are permitted out of necessity, but one must not exceed the scope of the necessity. Yes.
