Posting pictures on social media in remembrance of marhooms

Q: Can we post pictures on social media in remembrance of marhooms?

A: Pictures are haraam. And it is possible that the marhoom will go through further difficulty if he did not discourage this practice. This is not at all a way of sympathising, rather it is complicating the problem.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
