Is digital photography and keeping it for memories permissible? Are the images that the Prophet ﷺ warned against the idols worshipped? What should be done if relatives are not convinced of the impermissibility of photography? Is it permissible to destroy photos without their permission?
Still photography is permissible unless it depicts something unlawful, because it is merely capturing a shadow and does not involve imitating Allah's creation. It is better not to keep them to avoid disagreement and to prevent renewing sorrows. It is not permissible to burn photographs, but you have the right to prevent anyone you wish from bringing photographs into your home.
