Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan said:

«التصوير الفوتوغرافي أبلغ في المضاهاة من الصور المنقوشة والمرسومة، فهو أولى بالتحريم». "Photographic images resemble creation even more closely than engraved or drawn depictions; therefore, it is more deserving of prohibition." 📖 [الإعلام بنقد كتاب الحلال والحرام صـ 28[ Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khudri (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: «إنكم لتعملون أعمالا هي أدق في أعينكم من الشعر، كنا نعدها على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، من الموبقات» "You engage in deeds that appear to you as insignificant as a strand of hair, yet during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ , we considered them among the destructive sins." [Reported by Ahmad (11008) and others] What if Abu Sa‘id Al-Khudri (may Allāh be pleased with him) were to witness the people of our time and their laxity regarding major sins like Tasweer of living beings? We ask Allāh for well-being.
