Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on pictures hidden in drawers and not visible, and do they prevent the angels from entering the house?
Answer:
Yes, if he is keeping them for memories, it is not permissible. However, if the picture is necessary, such as an ID card photo or a driver's license, there is no harm in it for the sake of necessity; take it for the sake of necessity. As for pictures taken for other than necessity, such as for memories or for arts, as they say, or otherwise, these are forbidden and not permissible, whether they are in drawers or not.
