Can you store pictures on computers?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

.The fact that the image is not actually physically there, it may be permissble. It is stored in bits and bytes, if you are familiar with these terms. So can Angels still enter our house?

Answer

The images appearing on computers are not pictures in the strict sense as envisaged in the Ahadith of the Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, unless they are printed in a durable form on paper or on any other object.
