The questioner : I am a young man who loves photography and keeping pictures, and no occasion passes without me taking pictures for the sake of remembrance, and I keep these pictures in an album, and months may pass without me opening this album and looking at the pictures. What is the ruling on these pictures that I take and keep?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for you to repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for what you have done, and to burn all the pictures you are currently keeping, because it is not permissible to keep pictures for the sake of remembrance. So you must burn them as soon as you hear these words of mine. I ask Allah for guidance for me and for you, and safety from what is disliked.
