Is it allowed to take photos?

[Deen]

Wa'Alaikum Assalaam WR WB,


Welcome to the board inshallah.


I can remember reading a while back a hadith in which it mentions "...whatever the hand creates".


This means drawing or portraits done by the hand are not allowed. As for taking pictures it is allowed as the hand is not being used to draw but only to cpature an image by pressing a button on the camera.


But I will try to get the ahadith and explanation of it soon.


Wassalaam.
