Photographing the Moon

Question

I took and uploaded a picture of the moon without knowing it was forbidden. Is this a sin or does it bring bad luck or something else?

Answer

Hello,

You have transgressed a prohibition unintentionally. Accept upon yourself from today to try not to do this.

It does not bring bad luck.

It is permissible to keep the picture at home.
