Should I pursue photography or stay in engineering?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have done engineering but could not get a job. My hobby is photography and I have applied for photography course in a university and I did istikharah for it. I asked whether I should go for photography or not because if I go for photography course it will be difficult to return back to engineering. In my dreams I saw 2-3 children asking me what I am holding in my hand, and when I saw my hand, I was holding a camera with me. Suddenly then I was at another place, I as wearing white kurta pajama and all people around me were wearing white dress probably white kurta pajama. But I did not remember whether I was attending a marriage or funeral ceremony. Please interpret my dream.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1060/813/D=9/1434)

Photography is unlawful and sin. Hadith warns sternly against it. Do not do this course. You should search any suitable job based on your engineering course. In-shaAllah, it shall bring prosperity and blessings.
One sees in dream the things which linger in mind as wandering thoughts. Hence you should not worry to know its meaning. You should follow the Shariah ruling we have mentioned.

Allah knows Best!
