Is it permissible for my wife to send her picture to her mother in Egypt to reassure her, knowing that she heard a fatwa prohibiting photography with cameras, and does this fall under the necessities that permit prohibitions?

It is not necessary for a woman to send her picture to her mother or anyone else, as there is no necessity for it. Communication can be done through writing or by phone, and sending a picture is not permissible.
