Is photography permitted?
Scholars differ General principles
Short answer
Scholars differ. Most contemporary scholars permit photographs, because a camera captures an image and does not draw one, and it is needed for IDs and records. Others forbid photographing living beings, based on hadith that warn against image-makers. Pictures made for worship, or showing indecency, are forbidden by all.
This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
