About taking Pictures: Of course this applies only to pictures of living things. As for pictures of cars, houses, mountains, rivers, trees, etc. these are all permissible to take pictures of with a mobile phone or any kind of camera, as it is also permissible to draw or paint them by hand. al-Albânî said: I fear that Salafiyyûn one day will say: Photography isnt picture making. You just press a button.. (Silsilat-ul-Hudâ wan-Nûr 393) So remove it, otherwise I will supplicate against you! - Shaykh Saalih as-Suhaymee [Video|Ar-En] audio-islam/2013/02/14/so-remove-it-otherwise-i-will-supplicate-against-you-shaykh-saalih-as-suhaymee-videoar-en/ {O you who take pictures when will u not fear Allah Azzawajal in regards to this} Ponder upon this: Narrated Said bin Abu Al-Hasan (may Allaah be pleased with him): While I was with Ibn Abbas a man came and said, O father of Abbas! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I make these pictures. Ibn Abbas said, I will tell you only what I heard from Allahs Apostle (may Allaahs peace and blessing be upon him) . I heard him (may Allaahs peace and blessing be upon him) saying, Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it. Hearing this, that man heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn Abbas said to him, What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects. [Bukhari 3:428] On the Day of Resurrection a neck will stretch forth from Hell; it will have two eyes to see, two ears to hear, and a tongue to speak. It will say, I have been appointed to take care of three types of people: every arrogant tyrant, every person who called on some deity other than Allaah (swt) and those who made pictures [at-Tirmidhi stated that this hadith was saheeh - at-Takhweef min an-Naar, p.179, See also Jaami al-Usool, 10/518, the editor said its isnaad is hasan] This hadith explains what makes an image an image: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The image is the head; if the head is cut off, there is no image. Narrated by al-Ismaaeeli in his Mujam from the hadeeth of Ibn Abbaas and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah no. 1921 and in Saheeh al-Jaami no. 3864. Heres some statements from the ulema: al-Albani: There is no difference between picture-making with a pen and picture-making with a camera. (AFI 7, afatwa) al-Albânî said: I fear that Salafiyyûn one day will say: Photography isnt picture making. You just press a button.. (Silsilat-ul-Hudâ wan-Nûr 393) Ibn Uthaymin: It is forbidden to photograph if the purpose is to have the picture as a memory. (LBM 76, afatwa) ------------------
