Is it Halal to use photos in website design for income?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am a website designer by profession. In my work I have to use a number of photos for the client as you see in any website. I want to know If it is right to do so or I cannot use photos? Will it be a Halal or Haram income?

Answer

(Fatwa: 762/762/M=1432)

Making the picture of a living being is haram. You should also not use the pictures for designing since this act is also not free from being makrooh and the income of makrooh act is also not absolutely pure.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
