ISLAM AND PHOTOGRAPHY

The literal meaning of the picture is "appearance" or "shaping". The image of anything when drawn on paper falls under the category of depiction. There are many types of depictions such as visualization, iconoclast, sculpture and cartooning, etc. It is generally understood that it is absolutely forbidden to draw or keep pictures. This problem is certainly worth considering in the present times when the depiction has also taken a new form of photography. Interestingly, the great Maulanas and The Shaykhs also call photography illegal and (Haraam) forbidden and when they get a chance, they eagerly make their picture.
