Keeping photographs for memory's sake

 

Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn:

What is the intent of taking photos of people?

If the aim is to keep them as memories – then for that purpose it is harām. And hanging them on walls is harām – and the Angels do not enter a home that has images.

(Fatāwa ‘Ulamā al-Balad al-Harām p. 1221-2)
