Photographic imaging of animate beings and keeping their pictures is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Some scholars consider it forbidden, while others, like Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, deem photographic imaging permissible. It is advisable to delete the picture from the mobile phone to avoid disagreement. Deleting it becomes even more imperative if the picture is of a man kept by a non- woman.
