Is Keeping Pictures Prohibited in Islam?
Keeping three-dimensional pictures is prohibited. If non three-dimensional are hung up to be venerated and respected, as in the case of pictures of kings, presidents, ministers, scholars etc., they are prohibited because it involves exaggeration about a created being. If pictures are hung up for the sake of memory, such as hanging up pictures of one's friends, this is also prohibited. An exception is made in the case of children’s toys which are not regarded as prohibited or disliked.
