We have previously clarified the impermissibility of photographing wedding parties where women are present. Anyone who possesses photos of the questioner must destroy them, because their retention could lead to men viewing them, which is forbidden. Furthermore, Islamic law came with the effacement of images of living beings. It is advised that the photos be handed over to the questioner so she can destroy them, and whoever refuses to hand them over is disobedient. We also advise the questioner to fear Allah and not to be negligent in photography in the future.
