The noble prophet Mohammed has said that one should avoid pictures of the lord Allah, since one should perceive Allah in his true form and not as a mere representation of a painter.
However nothing has been said about having your own photographs or having pictures of beautiful things. But many Muslims, instead of understanding and following the original statement of the noble prophet, make a big fuss about pictures/photographs of common people, nature, etc.
Nowhere in the Quran has having pictures in general been called Haram. What is Haram is making a painting/shape to God and blindly believing in that shape/painting without trying to reach Allah in his true form.
Depends on what you mean. Pictures of family members, vaccation destinations, posters of famous people, then yes. But pictures of the Prophet Muhammed, no for it is forbidden. In any pictures that were made depicting the religious stories, his face and other holy men (such as prophets), were forbidden to be drawn as not to have people worship them.
Answer:
The Angels of Compassion do not enter a place where there is a picture or a sculpture of a living being (that is, a human or an animal). Well then, what do we lose if the Angels of Compassion do not enter a house? What are their benefits for us? Some points that were made mention of in ahâdîth are as follows:
1. (If an angel does not enter a house, the devil enters there.) The devil, in turn, casts evil suggestions in order to make a person do every kind of evil. [What is meant by angels in these ahâdîth is the Angels of Compassion.]
2. (When a guest pays a visit to a house, angels pray for the host at the dining table.) If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer.
3. (Similarly, the angels pray for him who eats vinegar at a meal.) When angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer, even if we eat vinegar.
4. (Angels pray for those who get up for sahûr [the meal consumed before starting to fast, sawm].) When angels do not enter, such people will be deprived of this prayer of angels'.
5. (Angels pray for the forgiveness of the sins of him who says salawât.) If angels do not enter, we will miss out this prayer.
6. (Angels scatter compassion to the places where Allahu ta'âlâ is remembered.) If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this compassion as well.
7. (Sixty thousand angels pray for him who does a khatm [that is, who read! s all] of the Qur'ân al-karîm.) If angels do not ente! r, we wi ll be deprived of this prayer.
8. (Until a person leaves the place he has performed namâz, angels pray for him, saying "O my Rabb! Show compassion for him.) If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer. Besides, if there are things that prevent the Angels of Compassion from entering, our namâz will be makrûh.
9. (Angels pray for those who teach goodness.) If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer.
10. (Thousands of angels pray for him who does some work for his Muslim brother.) If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer.
11. (If a person gets into bed with ablution, an angel prays for him until the morning, saying, "O my Rabb! Forgive him.") If angels do not enter, we will be deprived of this prayer.
12. There should not be a menstruating woman or anything else that prevent the angels from coming i! nto the room where there is an ill person showing the symptoms of death. At the time of death, a Believer sees the Angels of Compassion, which gives him or her so much pleasure that he or she does not even feel the pangs of death. If the Angels of Compassion do not come into that place, he or she may be subject to vexations. Therefore, we should not do deeds that keep the Angels of Compassion from enterin
