What is the ruling on photography with a camera?
Photography with a camera, if it is for a need, such as: a driver’s license, there is nothing wrong with it; because people need this. But if one takes a picture in order to keep it as a memento, that is not permissible; because keeping pictures as mementos is forbidden, as came in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture) .
