The answer

The Hadiths indicate the prohibition of possessing images that imitate Allah's creation, and that such images prevent angels from entering the house. Exceptions are made for images that are not forbidden or are considered trivial, such as those on carpets and cushions. Photographic images for remembrance are forbidden and must be destroyed, except when necessity dictates, such as identification photos. It is not permissible to keep images of non-mahram women.
