Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said, when he was asked about pictures
“ Making pictures for this purpose is haraam and is not permitted. That is because making pictures for memories is haraam, because the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The angels do not enter any house in which there is an image,” [Sahīh al-Bukhārī], and whatever the angels do not enter had no goodness in it.”
[Fatāwa Manār al-Islām, 3/759]
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him) also said,
“It may be obligatory to make images sometimes, especially moving images. For example, if we see someone committing a crime that is a crime against a person’s rights, such as a murder attempt and the like, and it cannot be proven except by means of a picture, then in that case taking a picture is obligatory, especially in cases where pictures could tell the full story, because the means are subject to the same rulings as the ends. If we use this image-making to prove the identity of a person lest he be accused of a crime committed by someone else, there is nothing wrong with this either, rather it is essential. But if we take a picture in order to enjoy looking at it, this is undoubtedly haraam.”
[Ash-Sharh al-Mumti’ (2/197-199)]
