Question

Dear Respected Mufti, Assalamu'alaikum, My husband and I have stopped taking pictures since reading your fatwa that it is impermissable. We still have pictures in albums that we took a long time ago -- Must we throw these out, or may we keep them in the books and not display them (without sinning)?

Answer

These pictures should be destroyed.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Are photographs and taking pictures permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
