Many users face Facebook share issue of wrongly shared photos.

The post image depends on an og:image meta property entry into the head of the page.
If there are no image with :og property then it will scan the page source for all images present on the page and will pick up the first image it gets from the page. If there is not any image exist then there will not be any image in the post.
