The entry of television into the home, the hadith of the angels, and the image
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the entry of a television set into the home fall under the general meaning of the famous hadith that the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image?
Answer:
And what is the implication of the hadith? It appears to me that there is a criticism of the hadith, unless it is said that this is an image that remains like the image in a mirror, which appears and then disappears. As for fixed images and those containing content, there is no doubt that they are forbidden. As for images that appear and then disappear, like a mirror, they have no ruling. Yes.
