Whats the policy towards photos of dead people ? I was digging through my hundreds of photos stretching from the 70s to 00's. Dozens of people in those photos are dead. Should I keep those photos ? What about former lovers ? Keep or chuck them ?

There are few Hadiths that say one shouldn't keep pictures of people who passed away. But honestly I have few pictures of my parents that I just can't let go of......but that's just me.

You can keep them as long as you don't display them overtly is what I heard Allahu A3lam laakiin

AW, I had a very brief moment about a decade ago that I turned into 'Five day sheikh' & I destroyed plenty of photos & music tapes & I regret doing that to this day.

PS: I have one pic of my sweat-heart back in Mogadishu who is married with children now (she wanted to have future with me but I was a kid playing with my willy & had my school fees & books bought for me, let alone getting married & being a responsible husband and father). Life! :wow:

Twist,

5 day wadaad ? Looking through my suitcase of photos was a trip down memory lane.

I am just worried that these photos of my previous romances could be used against me. You know those snooping g/friends. The future wife may have a fit.

AW, weli ma maqlin miyaa "Shan beri sheekh laguma noqdo" saying?

Yeah, there was that time when I was a teenager & kinda felt like, "What about haddaan surwaalka gaabsado, take some hadith classes in the local masjid & stop chasing chicks & listening to music etc?" Well, it was short-lived. :lol:


But, if there's going to be a wifey, or even a jealous & tempered gf, it's good idea to secure them & even send them to some other location in a locked safe or something.

Same thing happened to me. I'll never be able to find those songs again. :o

Maybe you could keep the pictures with the attention of making dua for the people who passed away.
