It is not permissible to photograph living beings except for a legitimate Shar'i purpose. It is also not permissible to photograph non- women due to the temptation (fitna) that may result from it. Unlawful pictures must be disposed of. It is not permissible to alter permissible pictures if such alteration leads to a Shar'i prohibition, such as cheating or forgery.
