The biggest issue is not with digital photography, as our fatwa permits it. The real issue is circumventing the website's terms and conditions, because the default for permissible conditions is validity and enforceability, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Therefore, if the website's terms and conditions are permissible, they are binding and it is not permissible to circumvent them.
