The Ruling on Keeping Pictures as Tokens of Remembrance


Question:


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


Answer:


The ruling is this practice is that it is unlawful, that is, if the picture is taken of something with a sole (a human or an animal), The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The people who will be most severely punished on the Day of Judgement will be the picture-makers.The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) 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 Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
