Wow, i had no idea that this was haraam. We have dozens of pictures hanging on our walls throughout our home, most of them being on the fireplace. Most of them are pictures of aunts' and uncles' weddings, and some are of us when we were younger.

And i just ran an order through walmart to print our most recent digital pics....

If pictures are haraam, how can Muslim matrimonial sights show pictures?

**chacha_jalebi** · **Re: Taking Pictures? -** 10-17-2007

one interestin point bout pics

the hadith uses the word tasweer, which comes frm d word tasawwur - meanin to imagine or make up, so makin up lik drawins is not allowed

but photos... are just stating the facts i.e - if i take a pic of a tree, its fact it already there i just captured the fact

What do you mean by "they on a next level"?

i find "intent" confusing in islam. sometimes it seems to be taken in to account and sometimes not.
in the case of people photographing their childen or other relatives, there is certainly no intent to commit shirk, or even any temptation.
if something is clearly forbidden specifically, then i guess intent would be irrelevant. but otherwise?
there seems to be a range of opinion re: taking pictures, so i assume there are different opinions as to what is covered in the prohibiton.

Allahu a3lam. Maybe someone knowledgeable can come and enlighten us on the fact

Salam.

Assalamu Alaikum

I think the best answer is the one this brother gave in a post:

The downside of having this in our brain cells is that we are displacing time and space for the remembrance of Allah... since we can only focus our minds to one subject at a time.

What we need to have is a vacant space to filled up with Allahs' Remembrance, the Qur'an and the ways of the prophet in focus in our daily lives... Any other images or concepts that will share this space will definitely take some time and space and will definitely be causes of distractions during our daily lifes routine.

It is merely a reflection on the subject. since it is frequently mentioned by Allah SWT in the Qur'an... that the Clear book is for those Who think, those who Appreciate... and those who Reflect....

With that being well said, do what you what you think is best in the deen, and what will most please Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

Since almost everything can be digitally stored and created, you can access any pictures through the internet, on a computer, mobile, or any other digital device.

For example, the news can be read on the internet; Old pictures can be scanned onto a computer and saved that way instead and then thrown away; etc.

Do not make the deen difficult upon yourselves. There are some things we may think are very harmless in the deen but they corrupt us or others very minimally or very slowly, in which case you will very much regret even an eighth of an atom of corruption, because it will show up on the day of judgement.

fi aman allah

RE: WASSUP
Aslam o alaikum
i think the hadis (Those who make these pictures will be punished on the day of resurrection, and it will be aid to them,"make alive what you have created".) is for the painting not for the photography, bcz in photography we dont create anything. we just take a reflect of the creation of Allah Subhanhuwatala.

Alhumdullilah i vistied harmain sharefain in this ramadhan of 1428 hijri. and i saw the dvd of taraveeh of 27th night in the market soon after the fajjar prayer. and all this done by the permission of the faqeeh and mufties and aima karam of kaaba n madina.
so i think if somebody want to take a picture but he is confused then i think he can make a movie.
walla hu alam.

I think we've gone on about this subject long enough. There was a lot of evidence given from reputable scholars. And as we know, it's best to stay away from doubtful matters.
