Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Without any legal necessity, keeping a picture of a person is prohibited, according to Prophet's (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) Hadith: “Angels do not enter a house where there is a picture or a dog”.This is a very great punishment and Islam punishes people only for Haram deeds. The house that is far from angels is prepared to become a residence of JINN and SATAN. Allah knows best.
