The answer

It is forbidden to photograph living beings if the images are still and can be preserved. However, images displayed on television, video, or mobile phones do not fall under the ruling of forbidden images, because they do not exist outside the device and thus are not permanent images. It is permissible to look at these images as long as they do not contain anything forbidden, such as images of unveiled women, immoral men, or music.
