Keeping Pictures as Tokens of Remembrance

Question :

When I go out on excursions with a group of friends, I take pictures to keep as mementos. What is the ruling on taking pictures for this purpose?

Answer:

The ruling in this practice is that it is unlawful, that is, if the picture is taken of something with a soul (a human or an animal). The Prophet ﷺ said :
"The people who will be most severely punished on the Day of Judgement will be the picture-makers."

The Prophet ﷺ also cursed those who make pictures. As for taking pictures of things without a soul a car, a plane, a tree, etc., there is no harm in that.

And with Allâh is the facilitation to do what is right.
