What is the ruling on photographing empty graves and hanging their pictures in the home? Is this permissible, reprehensible, commendable, or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Visiting graves is important because it reminds one of the Hereafter, allows one to greet their inhabitants, and reflect on their condition. Photographing graves is permissible—if it is for the purpose of admonition and remembering death, and if there is no fear of glorifying the inhabitants of the graves. It is preferable to photograph unknown and empty graves to avoid their glorification.
